Welcome back, Sideline Sessions listeners (and a hearty welcome to our new listeners!) for the start of season two. I’m excited to bring you more conversations with a variety of coaches, performance experts, and influential stakeholders from across the sporting landscape.
Today’s guest is Jared Zeidman, a basketball coach with 15 years’ experience in college athletics who authored the new book Nail the Recruiting Process.
