Description

Beth Torina is a coach's coach.  

I grew up around coaches and work around them daily. I would put Coach Torina at the top of the list, when it comes to building team culture and generating buy in among her LSU Softball players. 

This conversation is exactly what I envisioned when I started this podcast: learning expertise -- in this case, team building and tone setting -- from an absolute expert. 

If you're a coach, or an athlete, or simply a leader looking to generate more engagement from those you lead, this is the conversation for you.
