How Skip Bertman Built a Dynasty for LSU: Winning, Leadership, and Building Champions

تفصیل

In this unforgettable episode of The Determined Society, Shawn French sits down with legendary LSU baseball coach Skip Bertman, alongside former LSU Tigers Ryan Theriot and Blair Barbier, for a powerful conversation on leadership, character, culture, brotherhood, and building champions beyond the game. When Skip arrived at LSU, the program had no national championships, only a few hundred fans in the stands, and a culture still waiting to be built. Through vision, belief, discipline, and a commitment to high-character players, he helped turn LSU baseball into one of the greatest dynasties in college sports.
