Drew Gladstone — former Associate Head Coach at Northern Illinois and Team & Recruitment Analyst at Indiana — joins the pod for a real conversation about life as a Division 1 college coach. Two-time New England Class C Coach of the Year and a 2009 DePaul grad, Drew is now headed back to the prep ranks as head coach at Greenwich Country Day School for 2026-27.

We get into how hard the job actually is, what colleges navigate day-to-day, the impact of parent behavior, how social media is shaping today's players, recruiting, scouting, and everything you'd want to ask a former D1 coach.

A must-listen for players, parents, and coaches.
