 Interview with Dan McGee: S4E16Driven by a deep-rooted belief in the power of healthy teams, Dan McGee has spent the last 30 years being a part of, creating and leading teams of all shapes and sizes to achieve remarkable results. Dan’s professional leadership journey began in 1992 with the United States Marine Corps.  He spent almost 8 years as an infantry officer leading as many as 175 infantry Marines as both a platoon and company commander, and also served as an instructor at the The Basic School and Infantry Officer Course instructing new USMC infantry lieutenants. Upon his discharge from the USMC, Dan had the privilege of spending the next two decades as an FBI Agent which included several years as a SWAT team member. During his time with the FBI, Dan spent many years being a part of and leading teams involved in counterterrorism matters. Talk about high pressure! His growth as a leader was facilitated by serving in roles as a counterterrorism and cyber crime squad supervisor, senior FBI Liaison to the United States Southern Command, and as an Assistant Special Agent in Charge (ASAC) where he oversaw counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and cyber investigative matters as well as intelligence, crisis response, compliance, and other executive functions. When it was time to make a change, Dan left his role at the FBI to pursue using his extensive leadership and operational experience to help executives, corporations, and teams of all shapes and sizes become the best versions of themselves. And with that Greater Teams was born. Dan’s unique approach to coaching and leadership isn’t aimed at helping leaders simply produce more of the desired end product, but rather to help leaders learn how to build effective, healthy, and dynamic teams who take performance to the NEXT level.

Coach Keith Drysdale is founder of Count the Bucket Basketball youth development basketball training and mentorship. Count The Buckets' mission statement is to pave a gateway of opportunities to grow on and off the court. As a walk on D2 shooting guard at LIU CW Post, Keith was able to master the basics from a phenomenal coaching staff led by Tom Galeazzi. It led to a two year pro career with the Westchester Phantoms. Coached by former WNBA guard for the New York Liberty, Teresa Weatherspoon.In his own words: Coach Keith Drysdale, founder of Count the Bucket Basketball Youth Development Program and shooting school was established in the fall of 2016.  Just a kid from the Bronx that fell in love with the game of basketball at the age of 7.  One day the TV was on and saw something that had energy, and before you know it something drew my attention.  It was the sound of the net when it went through the basket.  I just know it looked so pretty going through the hoop that I wanted to go to the basketball court and make that same sound every time. I attended Grace Dodge High School, a small school in the Bronx. I made the team my junior and senior year, averaging 21 and 24 points per game. I earned a two year degree in Micro Computer Applications at Sullivan County Community College and only played one year. Then I enrolled at Long Island University at CW Post, and earned a Bachelor of Science in Information Management and Technology.   I also played for the CW Post Men’s Basketball Team.  I then went on to play basketball professionally under former WNBA coach Teresa Weatherspoon for the Westchester Phantoms from 2007-2009. Basketball is more than a sport to me, it's a community of a team that have different skills and passion for the game that build a team of opportunity's that can take you across the globe. In 2019 Coach Keith earned a Youth Development Certified USA Basketball Gold Coach License, "The USA Basketball Gold Coach License enhances the previous NCAA program, that  provides more value to coaches and event operators.” The USA Basketball Gold Coach License is a program that provides basketball education and training to coaches while ensuring the safety of young people in the sportCoach Keith, specializes in increasing your shooting percentage significantly, which start out with footwork and balance. Website:Services/ Training/ AAU (countthebuckets.net)LinkedIn:(1) Keith Drysdale | LinkedInInstagram:🏀Keith R.
