Jerome Tang: Winning The Day

This week Andrew talks with new Kansas State University Men’s Basketball Head Coach Jerome Tang. Before joining Kansas State earlier this year, Jerome spent 19 seasons with Baylor as an assistant and associate head coach. He helped lead Baylor to an NCAA National Championship in 2021 and two consecutive Big 12 regular season titles in 2021 and 2022. As you'll hear in this conversation, when Jerome interviewed for the job at Baylor nearly 20 years ago he had just $10.81 to his name. His story is all about relentless determination, a can-do spirit, and a commitment above all else to serve others. This conversation is filled with timeless lessons to help you win the day and get on the road to achieving your most ambitious goals.
