In this episode, I sit down with Michael Echaves, head coach of Troy High School in California, to discuss his dual coaching approach, balancing competitive success with character development.
Coach Echaves details his strategic shift from a spread offense to the traditional wing-T, aimed at controlling the game pace and improving performance. He introduces an innovative accountability framework that tracks players’ commitments and reinforces core values, ultimately aiming to develop young men into leaders.
We also discuss the role of building trust and relationships within the team, highlighting the culture of integrity and excellence he strives to instill.
