22 January 2025, 5:30 am - 58 minutes 47 secondsMatt Mann - Basketball Shooting Coach & Founder of Skills Within Hoops - Episode 1048
Matt Mann is a basketball shooting coach and the Founder of Skills Within Hoops. Mann's journey began in Australia where, with no formal training available, he taught himself basketball fundamentals using makeshift equipment and a relentless drive for improvement, eventually playing professionally in five different countries. Today, he channels his experiences into a thriving platform that transforms players into confident, consistent, and strategic scorers. I bring a global perspective to my coaching, having played basketball in five countries. His training is backed by mentorship from the NBA's top skills trainer, Drew Hanlen, and shooting expert, John Townsend.
On this episode Mike and Matt discuss Matt’s inspiring journey from playing Division 4 basketball in Australia to achieving success as a trainer. Growing up in Australia, Matt initially had no exposure to basketball but found a passion for the game after filling in for a friend's team. His determination to improve and compete against his peers led him through various divisions, facing challenges and setbacks, including a significant injury that threatened his dreams. Eventually, he transitioned into coaching during the COVID-19 pandemic, where he discovered a natural talent for training young athletes. With mentorship from NBA trainers, Matt has developed a thriving coaching business, emphasizing the importance of fundamentals and communication in basketball.

6 January 2025, 3:00 am - 1 hour 37 minutesJason Smith - Tennessee Wesleyan University Women's Basketball Head Coach - Episode 1041
Jason Smith is in his first season as the women’s basketball head coach at NAIA Tennessee Wesleyan University. He previously served as the head women’s coach at Peru State during the 2023-2024 season and Cedarville University from 2021-2023.
Prior to Cedarville Smith had a ten-year run as the women’s head coach at Bryan College in Dayton, Tenn. He produced an impressive resume at Bryan where he is the school’s all-time winningest coach. Smith guided the Lions to an overall record of 219-85 including a 157-49 slate in the Appalachian Athletic Conference. His teams claimed five regular season titles, four league tournament crowns, and made six appearances in the NAIA Division II National Tournament. Following his final season, Smith earned his third consecutive AAC Coach of the Year honor after his team posted a remarkable 78-7 record during that timespan featuring a perfect 64-0 conference mark. He produced nine consecutive winning campaigns.
Jason previously served as the head men’s basketball coach at both Calvary Bible College and San Diego Christian College. As an undergraduate at Kansas he was a varsity manager and film technician for Head Coach Roy Williams.
On this episode Mike & Jason discuss the importance of self-awareness and accountability in player development. Jason emphasizes that players often already know what they need to improve upon but may struggle to articulate it or take ownership of their performance. Smith reflects on the challenges coaches face when trying to instill a strong work ethic and a winning mentality in their teams, particularly in an era where instant gratification is prevalent. He shares insights from his coaching journey, including the need to foster a culture of love and acceptance within the team, allowing players to feel valued regardless of their role. The conversation highlights the significance of building trust and encouraging open communication between coaches and players to help them navigate their growth on and off the court.
