S2:E1 - Geoff Arnold Creator of 12 inches Over
In this episode of No More Reasonable Doubt, we learn about Assistant Basketball Coach Geoff Arnold and the powerful community he has built for basketball coaching during COVID.
He has everybody from high school to professional coaches joining this private community.
You are going to love the organic nature of how this project was born and how Geoff leveraged the relationships he has built over years to pull together the kind of community that would have a coach call into their weekly meeting 15 minutes before their game and has coaches calling in to thank them for the professional development and community that helped them to get their next job.
You'll also hear the evolution of this project/community based on the conversations they began having. With the social/racial awakening that has taken place in the U.S. many people of color (I'm imagining mostly Black folks) are being asked to step into the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) space; that is definitely the cases for some of the Basketball coaches that are part of 12 inches over.
Curious about what the name "12 inches over" means? You'll have to listen to the show to find out.
