149. Utah Tech Softball Coach Randy Simkins

This week, we're joined by Coach Randy Simkins, the head softball coach at Utah Tech University. Coach Simkins is the only college coach in Utah history to lead teams at the JUCO, DII, and DI levels — all from the same office. But his impact goes far beyond wins and titles. In this episode, Coach Simkins shares wisdom from decades of experience in coaching and recruiting. We talk about what it really means to "compete without contempt," how women's sports are evolving, why multi-sport athletes thrive, and what college coaches are actually looking for in today's high-pressure recruiting environment. Highlights from the episode: * The importance of teaching athletes to compete without contempt * Why multi-sport athletes tend to be more competitive and resilient * How the rise of travel ball is impacting team culture * The similarities and differences in coaching women vs. men * Why college softball is exploding in popularity — and what fans can learn from it * The advice Coach Simkins gives his own athletes about handling pressure and expectations This is a powerful listen for parents, coaches, and athletes who want to rise above the noise and focus on what really matters. #### Especially for Athletes: Website: https://e4a.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/EspeciallyForAthletes/ X: https://x.com/E4Afamily Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/especiallyforathletes/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmbWc7diAvstLMfjBL-bMMQ Join the conversation using #e4apodcast #### Credits: Hosted by Shad Martin & Dustin Smith Produced by Shad Martin and IMAGINATE STUDIO
