On today’s episode, we have Coach Megan Yawman. Megan started her college coaching career as an assistant at Carnegie Mellon University, where, during the 2024-2025 season, she helped lead the Tartans to the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time in program history.

This year, she was recognized as a Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Thirty Under 30 Honoree. The distinction celebrates not only on-court excellence, but also a coach's commitment to mentorship, community service, and their overall impact on student-athletes.

Megan was recently named the head coach at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) and will head into her first season as a head coach during the 2026-2027 year.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Stats and what they mean and what they miss
• What she’s looking for in recruits right now
• What she would have done differently in her recruiting process
• The role of social media
• What to put in your social media profile
• Film and the pressure to post constantly
• What helps the transition to college
• Being on the right AAU team for you

And much more!
