State Champion Head Coach, Eric Trudo, from Van Meter High School challenges us to be better coaches and men in our conversation about leading by following. He produces a program that exudes excellence and it is because he has leaned into those who came before him. He shares his compelling story of how he has adapted and grown as a man and coach to lead one of the most successful programs in the State of Iowa. He is deliberate and intentional in his organization and attention to detail, along with his ability to establish and maintain life-long relationships with those he leads and serves. We are better leaders today because of our conversation, and you will be, too! You can reach Coach Trudo at eric.trudo@vanmeterbulldogs.com, or follow him on Twitter @erictrudo.
