Real Success with Nate Kaeding

On the 50th episode of the Real Success podcast, Nate sits down with Kirk Ferentz, Head Coach of the University of Iowa Football Team, a position he has held for 25 years.

The two discuss how he has seen the landscape of football change since he started his career in the ‘80’s, how they continue to see big returns from small innovations, and how his job at Iowa compares to his time in Maine. They also discuss why he has his team read books on productivity and collaboration, what real success means to someone who has already found a significant level of success in his career, and Nate even gets Coach to share some positive thoughts on special teams and kickers.
