Phil Shomo Coaching: Adversity to Advantage

Today's guest for my first ever coach-chat is JUSTIN BROWN.

Justin was a pitcher at NAIA powerhouse Mount Vernon Nazarene University, a college career that began as a walk-on and culminated with being named a first-team all-conference and all-region selection before heading into an assistant coaching role for several years with his alma mater.
While coaching at MVNU, Justin also served as the Ohio Assistant Director of Scouting for Prep Baseball Report as well as a pitching instructor and coach for Ohio Elite Baseball, a nationally renowned amateur baseball program.
At the age of 26, Justin was selected for his first head coaching position at NCAA Division III North Central University in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where he coached for three years.
This past season Justin was the head coach at Toccoa Falls College in Georgia, and most recently was announced as the Director of Baseball Development and Leadership for BO JACKSON'S ELITE SPORTS TRAINING based in Columbus, Ohio, where Justin will be moving his family very soon.
In total, Justin has coached three pitchers that have advanced to professional baseball including Nick Thwaits who was selected in the 15th round by the San Diego Padres in the 2018 MLB draft. He has coached one NAIA All-American and eleven players who have received all-region or all-conference honors.
Justin's wisdom, discernment, maturity, perspective, and mental grasp on coaching both the skill-side and the human-side of athletes are far beyond his years. He also runs a fantastic Leadership Study website called STAY THE COURSE LEADERS which can be found at www.staythecourseleaders.com

02 - STEVEN PAINE: The centrality of building strong relationships that extend beyond golf

Today's guest for my second ever coach-chat is STEVEN PAINE.

Steven was a golfer at NCAA D2 powerhouse Columbus State in Columbus, GA, under the guidance of coach Mark Immelman, a college career that included success and national recognition. Following college, he pursued professional golf as well as being a grad-assistant for his alma mater’s team while helping guide them to a birth in the national championship in 2013.

In 2014 Steven was selected for his first head coaching position at NAIA Point University in West Point, GA, where he’s now coached for the last six years. He’s built a perennial top 5 program and won the conference coach of the year award three times with a lock for a fourth from this past season. Steven’s team finished the 2019-20 season ranked second in the nation having gone undefeated in four big tournaments in the 2020 calendar year before the pandemic forced the cancellation of the final few matches and the national championship. He’s coached numerous All-Americans and continues his dominant success in recruiting and shaping a team that is fine-tuned for winning outcomes in the most pressurized environments.

Steven’s wisdom, discernment, maturity, character, humor, honesty, perspective, hunger, and mental grasp on coaching golf from both the physical-side and the mental-side are far beyond his years. And greatest of all, every player who goes through his program comes out a better man with better preparation for their future because of the way they’ve been shaped by Steven and his program.
