Chris Berry, head coach at McLennan Community College in Waco, Texas, joins Jay and Ken talk about his early career playing baseball, how he came to McLennan as a baseball assistant coach, why and when he was asked to take over the softball program, and how he has built that program into a perennial national powerhouse over the last decade. He also shares his views on the value of strength training, some of the differences between coaching female versus male players, why playing at the JUCO level instead of taking any old 4-year college offer is betting on yourself, and much more!
