About the show

"Learning From Experts" is exclusively for the COACHES in the athletic department at the University of Texas at Austin. As well as for the administrative staff. Each week we select the "BEST of the BEST" audio content that helps our coaches excel at their job.

And occasionally it's content that pertains to a coach's personal life, regarding their ongoing state of mind, marriage or their health. Hosted by John Mitchell, each Learning From Experts episode aims to provide listeners with valuable insights, inspiring stories, and practical tips that can help them succeed in their personal and professional lives.
