Show Notes

Coach Cornell Mann’s Story.
In this episode, you’ll hear from Cornell Mann. Coach Mann is currently an assistant coach for Cuonzo Martin at the University of Missouri. Coach Mann is entering year five with Coach Martin. “Corn” as the entire coaching community knows him has a wealth of experience: assistant coaching stops at Central Michigan, Western Michigan, Oakland, Dayton, and Iowa State. And Coach Mann is synonymous with helping the head coaches that he assists: WIN! In over seventeen years in the profession, Coach Mann has been to postseason play twelve times. Including ten times to the NCAA tournament. Coach Mann was recently selected to participate in the 2021 TopConnect Symposium. This future head coach is indeed focused on helping Coach Martin compete for an SEC title this season. However, what you learn is that Coach Corn's journey to the SEC is such an amazing journey. Two young youth coaches in the Detroit Metropolitan area, Tex and Dino, mentored a young Cornell Mann and his cousin, DJ Stephens, who is currently the Associate Head Coach for Tom Izzo at Michigan State. Tex and Dino mentored Corn and DJ and really introduced these two amazing men into the thought of one day being coaches. As a matter of fact, you will soon learn that Coach Corn knew by the 5th grade that he wanted to help people. The word “CARE” will resonate throughout the entire podcast. Coach Corn engages with the players that he coaches and shares some amazing experiences from his past. In addition, Coach Mann shares some amazing tips to young coaches: from recruiting and creating balance to teaching time management and being calm--this is a great 30-minute coaching course for young coaches. I know one thing, Tex and Dino helped mold an unbelievable man and leader. Coach Cornell Mann is simply about giving back. There are so many terrific things about this conversation and I am so thankful that Coach Mann shared his incredible coaching story!
