How did the love of baseball start for Coach Davis, what other sports did he play which leads us into a conversation about how it was growing up then versus now? Learn the moment that led Barry to think about becoming a coach and who his coaching mentors are. 

We discuss getting the job at Gloucester County College, the shape of the program when he started, the success he achieved at GCC, and the challenges of building a program at a junior college. The discussion goes into how a team becomes consistent. What has he taken from GCC and GA SW that he uses today at Rider U? Is repetition a key to success? Did he have the goal to coach at D1 or is that goal higher? 

Learn about the number of times it took to achieve win #900, the story behind the win and guiding former assistants and players to being head coaches of their own. Get his definition of transformation along with how to be a leader or follower and getting a growth mindset. 

If you are not a fan of baseball or think the game is too slow then Coach Davis gives you an explanation about this great game.
