After three years of nonstop content — over 200 episodes, nearly 100 hours of conversations, and a growing community that just crossed 1,000 subscribers — it’s time for a pause.

In this episode, I share why I’m taking a strategic break from the Player Development Pod. This is not the end. It’s a chance to step back, reset, and prepare for the next level of growth.

You’ll hear:

The real reason I need this pause

How I’m preparing Beyond the Field for what’s next

Why the systems that got us here won’t get us to the future

Ways you can stay connected during the break (book, newsletter, assessments, email)

What you can expect when I return refreshed and ready

This break is about more than rest — it’s about building the structure that allows Beyond the Field to scale, serve athletic departments, and make the Player Development Summit bigger than ever.

Thank you for your support and trust. This is just a pause, not the end. When I come back, I’ll be ready to serve you and your programs on an even greater level.

Developing People. Elevating Programs.
