Description

JJ is the head coach of a small high school in the state of Mississippi that won their first ever state championship team title in 2018. In this episode we'll explore JJ's college coaching roots, why he decided to move to the high school level, and how he built Center Hill to a state championship team.
If you've ever thought you were at a program that didn't have enough money, or enough facilities, or enough coaches to win a state championship, this episode will help by giving you examples of how JJ built a program from scratch and turned it into a state championship winning team. Near the end, I put JJ on the spot and asked him for three pieces of advice to help a coach build a program, you won't want to miss what he says.
