Show Notes

Coach Carlos Adamson’s Story:
In this episode, you’ll hear from Carlos Adamson. Carlos is currently an assistant women's basketball coach for Coach Fred Castro at Eastern Michigan University. Coach Castro was also a guest on the podcast (Episode 7). Everyone knows Coach Carlos as simply “Coach Los”. Before coming to EMU, Coach Los was a standout girls basketball head coach at Putnam City West High School in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. This two-time coach of the year had an incredible record of 81-20 in a four year span. During his tenure, he helped numerous players get to college. Also, Coach Carlos won a Class 2A State Championship at Hollywood Christian High School in Hollywood, Florida. And being a tremendous head high school coach has helped him transition to being a college basketball assistant with great success. Right off the start of the podcast, Coach Carlos talks about his WHY. It is chilling to hear him talk so passionately about why and who he coaches for. His love for his wife, his five children, and his players is so telling. How he connects with his players is also very interesting to hear. As you soon will find out, you can expect to find Coach Los in the gym. His legendary 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. work days are almost considered normal in his home state of Oklahoma. However, how Coach Carlos gets his players better is something that a young coach for sure needs to hear. You are never going to think twice about the use of a cone in a workout again! In addition, Coach Carlos openly talked about his love for defense. Again, the passion Coach Los demonstrates in regards to stopping opposing players is exceptional. Finally, the appreciation that Coach Los has for women’s basketball players is extremely admirable. Boy or Girl, Man or Women - you better believe that Coach Los is going to coach them hard, improve them as players and as people, and ultimately get them to believe in themselves. This ability to get players to believe is a true gift. And, Coach Los is a true gift to the coaching fraternity.
