DR. MATTHEW RAIDBARD

Dr. Matthew Raidbard is a former Men's college basketball coach and athletic administrator, head of Raidbard Sports Leadership Consulting, and author of Lead like a Pro-which is on sale now! Dr. Raidbard shares his upbringing in the Chicagoland area (as y'all know, MY FAVORITE PLACE IN THE WORLD!!! If you haven't yet, go visit! 🍕🌭🌆), as well as how growing up in such a diverse environment prepared him to coach and work with diverse groups of people in varying communities. A coaching job in New Mexico proved to be impactful for Raidbard, as the school is located on the border of the States and Mexico, exposing him to lifestyles and upbringings he was previously unaware of. Instead of allowing the situation to intimidate him, Matthew immersed himself in the culture, community, and university. In order to be successful coaches and leaders, we must be like Dr. Raidbard: Embrace to new experiences, even when they're uncomfortable. As always, thank you for tuning in!
