Episode 597: How to Create A Winning Team with Coach Michael Kane: The Leadership Series Part 2
Today we have Part 2 of our Leadership Series for you, where we’re discussing how to build a winning team. In this special series, Jen and I are interviewing extraordinary leaders, and not necessarily just business owners. This time we’re featuring Jen’s highschool volleyball coach, Michael Kane, who she credits for helping her become the performance coach that she is today!
Coach Michael Kane has an impressive resume that includes 6 State Championship titles and with over 800 wins he is one of the winningest coaches in Texas volleyball history. Michael is the Director of Austin Performance Volleyball and Head Coach of Dripping Springs High School, and he has accomplished many accolades over the course of over two decades as a coach. Michael’s teams have qualified 9 times for the Junior Olympic Championships, and he has 22 consecutive playoff appearances with 9 Final Four appearances, as well as training over 40 Division I collegiate athletes.
Michael is a motivational speaker who has committed his entire career to both high school and club volleyball programs and players, but what stood out the most to us during this conversation was just how humble of a man Michael is and the amazing example of egoless leadership he displays, and we can’t wait for you to learn from him today!
