Ep. 39 - Chris Mikrut - "Always a Great Day"
Show Notes

Today's episode is a very special one for me. I get to talk to one of my former student-athletes from my first few years of coaching. Chris Mikrut has been a very successful girls' soccer coach at Crown Point High School in Crown Point, Indiana. I haven't spoken with Chris in about 25 years, so this was a lot of fun for me to reconnect with him.

Chris talks about a quote that he started using with the girls in his program that has taken off and been huge for their program and for the kids and parents. While the quote might not seem earth-shattering, it is a great way to rally your team and your kids and to then build your culture.

Chris & I both reminisce a bit and tell a few stories in here, but I think you will find some good nuggets inside those stories, too.  Any of you who have coached for a while will be able to relate to our stories and to the feeling that I get being able to reconnect with Chris.

If you would like to reach out to Chris to ask him about his quote and his culture or anything else, he can be reached at cmikrut@cps.k12.in.us. Their Instagram page can be found at @cphsladybulldogsoccer.
