What do Michael Phelps, Pearl Jam, and Arctic engineering have in common? This conversation with Dr. Brock Anundson, Athletic Director at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, weaves them all together in the most delightful way. Brock shares stories from his early days working with Olympic athletes (including a great Phelps anecdote), playing in garage bands, and climbing the ranks of college athletics administration.
We talk about how practice and preparation show up in his leadership, and the importance of giving team members room to run. Brock reflects on the balance between performance and development, both in athletics and leadership, and how he’s fostering a culture at UAF where people feel trusted, supported, and motivated.You can connect with Brock here:
