The Decibel Level is 10... Sports are Intense! with Guest Coach Jason Zimmerman
Today's Play: Jason Zimmerman, head men's basketball coach at Emory University, sits down with Amy Bryant of Bryant College Coaching to discuss the importance of receiving genuine interest from recruits. He emphasizes the value of authenticity over perfection in communication and highlights the challenges posed by COVID-19, which hindered his ability to coach and interact with his team. Jason also addresses the frustration of dealing with generational differences and the necessity of adapting to new coaching methods. He advises parents to support their children without overstepping and to focus on the process rather than the outcome in sports and recruiting.
Today's Coach: Coach Jason Zimmerman. Jason is a current Division III Head Men's Basketball Coach and Director of Coach Z's Basketball Camps. He has over 28 years of college coaching experience including stints at the University of Evansville, his alma mater Davidson College, and now Emory University where he's been since 2007.
