"This is my advice to the modern athlete" - Friends University Athletic Director Rob Ramseyer

from The Commits · host Jody

In this episode, we sit down with Rob Ramseyer, Vice President of Athletics and Strategic Expansion at Friends University, for a conversation that goes far beyond wins and losses. Rob shares how the same discipline, sacrifice, and intentionality required in sport show up in his most important roles as a husband and father. We unpack the parallels between marriage, fatherhood, and athletics, and why long-term success in any arena demands commitment, humility, and daily work. Rob also offers sharp insight into Gen Z on what they’re navigating, where institutions often miss the mark, and how leaders can better serve and develop this generation. From hiring philosophies and leadership traits to coaching misconceptions and discovering true purpose, this episode is a masterclass on building people, not just programs.
