About this episode
On the 164th episode of the GreatBase Tennis podcast, Steve Smith and fellow teaching pro, Ethan Matthews, discuss one of the most revered coaches in all of sport. Ethan is a diehard Green Packer fan and Steve grew up in the '60s when Vince Lombardi's 'Be Brilliant with Basics' approach ruled professional football. Steve and Ethan review the why's and how's to Mr. Lombardi's success. Their conversation will appeal to anyone who thinks a teacher and a coach should go beyond their sport and address values and principles for building character and life skills. Some say that the Lombardi way is wrong for today's society, others say what is wrong with society today is we have forgotten the Lombardi way. Listen in and decide for yourself.
