Left Wide Open is a leadership and sports podcast about the moments leaders miss—and the decisions that change everything.

In every game, every season, and every career, there are moments left wide open. Missed coverages. Unseen opportunities. Leadership blind spots. Decisions that swing championships, careers, and organizations.

This podcast explores elite coaching, leadership through sports, and the hidden moments behind victory and failure. Each episode studies legendary coaches, championship teams, and pivotal leadership decisions from across football, basketball, baseball, soccer, hockey, and beyond, blending sports history, biography, and leadership analysis to uncover what leaders saw, missed, or exploited.

You’ll learn:

• How great coaches identified opportunities others missed
• How blind spots cost teams championships and leaders careers
• How preparation creates clarity under pressure
• How systems expose or protect weaknesses
• How leaders adapted when plans broke down
• How psychology shaped split-second decisions
• How great leadership is often revealed in mistakes

This isn’t a highlight show or a motivational podcast. It’s a story-driven guide to leadership under pressure, coaching strategy, decision-making, and understanding how the best leaders in history learned to recognize what others left wide open.

If you’re interested in leadership, sports leadership, coaching philosophy, strategy, team culture, organizational leadership, performance psychology, and learning how elite leaders spot opportunity in chaos — this podcast is for you.

Left Wide Open Because the biggest moments are rarely the ones you planned for.
