Together they discuss why Ish earned the position over candidates with more experience on paper, what he&#39;s learned during his first six weeks coaching athletes, and why culture, character, and a willingness to learn matter just as much as a résumé.The conversation wraps up by discussing New Wave&#39;s NFL FLAG Football League sponsorship, the importance of mastering the fundamentals, and an exciting new partnership with Jimmy John&#39;s that&#39;s helping fuel the next generation of athletes.After a short break (6 months), New Wave Certified is back—and so is New Wave Performance. Bigger. Better. And just getting started. This episode is all about elevation — physically, mentally, and in the community. Tap in. Level up.
