Owner and Director of Player Development at Kingdom Performance, Keith Spencer joins the show to share how he’s built a training environment rooted in community, relationships, and long-term development. From partnering with parents to creating unforgettable experiences for athletes, we explore how Keith overdelivers and builds something far greater than just basketball skills. This episode dives into the business side of coaching, the depth of athlete development, and the keys to leaving a lasting impact.
This podcast evolved from my book, Strength In Numbers — the ultimate mentorship guide for coaches.
