In this episode, I sit down with Coach Manning, head coach of the Cherryville High School girls soccer team. Coach Manning opens up about how sports shaped his childhood, the impact of a high school injury that changed the course of his college dreams, and the uphill battle of rebuilding a struggling program.
We dive into what it really means to be a student-athlete, how he builds authentic relationships with his players, and his ultimate goal—not just for wins, but for growth. Whether you're a coach, a teacher, or someone who believes in the power of second chances, this one’s for you.
