This show brings the audience great things Ohioans are doing to make their communities, the state, the region, and the world a better place as entrepreneurs, leaders, historical and popular culture figures.
For episode 68, I had the pleasure of speaking with Women's Assistant Basketball Coach John Leonzo of Cedarville University.
To connect with the Outstanding Ohioans show, here are a few ways:
Here were the topics we discussed in our conversation:
- Growing up in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
- when he wanted to be a basketball coach
- how he started as a college student volunteer, became a basketball trainer & travel coach, and then returned to his alma mater
- what does being an Assistant Coach in Division II entail
- philosophy of recruiting student-athletes to Cedarville University
- does he like to coach offense or defense more
- how he processes information and puts into his system
- the value of small-sided games and putting decisions in 1 on 0 skill development sessions
- how to create decisions in 1 on 0 settings
- read, plan, doing
- Block practice vs. Random practice
- the value of asking questions and 1-2 word cues vs. direction
- ball screen play
- offensive and defensive strategies
- Here's how to connect with Coach Leonzo
