Staying Hungry: Competition, Coaching Kids, and Raising the Standard ft. Sean Madden
In this episode of the Easton Training Center Community Podcast, Sean Madden joins Mike to talk about coaching, competition, and the years of work it takes to build a successful Muay Thai program. Sean shares what he's learned from recently stepping into Easton's kids Muay Thai program, including the differences between coaching kids and adults, adjusting expectations for different students, and why great coaches need to adapt the way they communicate. The conversation also explores Easton's long-term goal of creating a stronger bridge between the kids and adult programs and developing athletes who can grow up through the entire Easton system. Sean also breaks down Easton's most successful trip yet to the TBA Muay Thai World Expo, where nine athletes competed in 21 fights, finished with an 18–3 record, and brought home six national championships. More important than the wins, Sean explains how years of developing better systems, higher standards, experienced coaches, and a unified team culture are beginning to pay off on the national stage.
