## Resource

On this episode of the Rising Coaches Podcast, we’re doing something a little different as my cohost and I sit down to answer questions from our listeners and Rising Coaches members about networking and growing in the coaching industry. We wanted this episode to be a real conversation for young coaches trying to build connections and find their way in the business. In this episode we discuss some of the best ways to connect with coaches, how to network without sounding transactional, and what someone with almost no connections in basketball should start doing right away to build relationships and create opportunities. We also share some personal experiences and lessons we’ve learned throughout our own journeys in coaching. We hope you enjoy this conversation and can take something valuable away from it.
