We welcome Texas Christian University Assistant Athletic Director of Human Performance Zach Dechant to this week’s podcast.

In this discussion with guest host John O’Neil, Zach shares insights on long-term development of college athletes, discusses his offseason work with alumni that have moved on to professional baseball, and outlines the key competencies he looks to develop in the coaches he mentors.
