🎙️ 3x National Champions: How Candace Moats Builds Programs That Last

What does it really take to build a championship program—and sustain it year after year?

On this episode of the Significant Coaching Podcast, Matt Rogers sits down with Candace Moats, Head Volleyball Coach at Indiana Wesleyan University, AVCA Coach of the Year, and leader of a program that has now won three consecutive NAIA National Championships.

But this conversation goes far beyond banners and rings.

Candace shares powerful insight on protecting team culture, coaching with conviction, rebuilding when necessary, and what it truly means to “finish the race well.” She speaks openly about faith, leadership, accountability, and why sustained excellence is built through clarity, relationships, and standards—not shortcuts.

This episode is a must-listen for coaches, athletic leaders, and anyone committed to building programs that last—on and off the court.
