Between Whistles is a podcast about coaching, sports, and the quiet part.

Most coaching content focuses on the games, the wins, and the highlights. This show focuses on what happens between them.

The bus ride home after a hard loss. The empty gym after everyone leaves. The player who walks into your office and closes the door. The conversations no one trains a coach for. The work nobody puts in the job description, but everyone expects a coach to do.

I'm Coach Kays, a head varsity basketball coach who has spent almost 25 years on a sideline. Over that time, I've come to realize that a lot of the most important parts of coaching have very little to do with what happens while the clock is running.

We'll talk about winning, because I care about winning. We'll talk about losing, players, parents, culture, youth sports, school athletics, leadership, and what this work asks from the people who choose to do it.

Some episodes will be about basketball. A lot of them won't be.

But most will eventually come back to the same place: a kid walks through the door, and for some period of time, you get to be their coach.

That's the part of the job I want to talk about.

The part between whistles.

New episodes twice a month.

  • I Used to Apologize for Caring About Winning

    I Used to Apologize for Caring About Winning
    2026/09/01

    Coaches are supposed to say winning isn’t everything. For a long time, I felt like I had to apologize for wanting to win too much.

    But wanting to win and caring about your players aren’t opposites.

    In this episode of Between Whistles, I talk about why I stopped apologizing for being competitive, what winning can teach when it’s kept in perspective, and why pretending the scoreboard doesn’t matter may not be the lesson we think it is.

  • The Player who Quit

    The Player who Quit

    What happens when a player decides to walk away?

    In this episode of Between Whistles, I tell the story of a player who quit—and the questions it left behind about coaching, relationships, and the things we can’t always control.

    Sometimes the moments that stay with us have nothing to do with the final score.

  • The Hidden Work of Coaching

    The Hidden Work of Coaching
    2026/08/28

    The contract tells you part of the job. The rest you learn after you start doing it.

    In this episode of Between Whistles, I talk about the difficult conversations, decisions, relationships, and responsibilities that nobody really trains coaches for and why that hidden work may be the most important part of the job.
