Today’s episode is focuses on the topic of Winning Team Cultures, and to explore the topic I am joined by 2 great coaches.

The first is Mike Dunlap. Mike is a basketball coach who has led teams in US Colleges, the NBA and in Australia. He started as a College Assistant in 1980 before becoming the Head Coach of Cal Lutheran in 1989. In 1994 he moved to Australia and led the Adelaide 36ers in the |National League before returning to the USA in 1997 to lead Metro State. That team went on to win National Championships in 2000 and 2002.

In 2006, he went to the NBA for the first time as an Assistant at Denver, and then in 2011, he was chosen by Michal Jordan to lead the Charlotte Bobcats in the NBA.

Then in 2020, Mike returned to the NBA as an Assistant Coach with Milwaukee Bucks and was with them then they defeated the Phoenix Suns to win their first NBA Championship in 2021.

This episode is something a little different.

I am joined by Dr David Turner, who is a Senior Lecturer in Sport Coaching Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge in the United Kingdom and some of his students and a fellow teacher. David takes the lead in this episode and we share learning we have all taken from Great Coaches as well as how some the students intend to apply what they have learned in the world. The tables were turned at times as the students and David asked me questions as well; something which I found enjoyable but also quite challenging!

A special thanks to Wleed Mazhar, Kye Buckle, Becky Marshall, Beth Parsons and Eloise Pemberton for taking part.
