In this episode, host Phil Osaer (Director of Athlete Development at Suburban Sports Group & former NHL scout) sits down with Eric Kapitulik—former Marine, founder and CEO of The Program, and author of The Program: Lessons from Elite Military Units for Creating and Sustaining High Performance Leaders and Teams.
 
Together they dive into:
• The origin story of The Program
• Lessons from the military that translate directly into sports and leadership
• The role of parenthood in shaping today’s athletes and future leaders
• How to manage “squeaky wheels” and foster true competitiveness within teams
• What great teams and great teammates consistently do
