Show Notes

Coach JR Blount,
In this episode, you’ll hear from JR Blount. JR is currently an assistant coach for Coach TJ Otzelberger at Iowa State. Coach JR is in year one as a Big 12 assistant coach. I actually had the opportunity to coach JR his senior season at Loyola Chicago. And, Coach JR was an outstanding player for Coach Jim Whitesell. JR was also a terrific leader. As a matter of fact, JR was a three-time team captain during his college career. Coach JR is a twelve-year veteran now in the college coaching industry. However, his journey to a top 25 program was not an overnight story. It was a product of consistent hard work and impact with the players he coached. From stops at Division III Wisconsin Stevens Point and Division II St Leo, to being the Director of Operations at Drake, Coach JR climbed his way up the coaching ladder. At Drake, Coach JR was elevated as an assistant coach and his Division I coaching career has skyrocketed. Before being selected to Coach TJ’s staff at Iowa State, Coach JR continued to develop as an assistant coach with Coach Niko Medved at Colorado State. As you will soon hear, Coach JR speaks like a future head coach. Coach JR is going to openly discuss his keys to player development and player relationships. He will share some great advice for young assistant coaches. Also, Coach JR is going to paint the picture of how he recruits. It is so good. Finally, the behind the scenes insight that Coach JR shares about the Iowa State program is terrific. This is a short action-packed conversation with a coach in the midst of playing a massive part in helping Iowa State get off to a Top 25 start. A storm is truly brewing in Ames, Iowa and Coach JR Blount is playing a major role in it!
