Bill Taylor - Managing Sports Conflict
Episode 14
Sunday, 11 October, 2026

Conflict is unavoidable in sports. It can happen between coaches and players, coaches and parents, members of a staff, or throughout an entire organization. The real question isn’t whether conflict will happen—it’s how we respond when it does.My latest guest is Bill Taylor, championship-winning collegiate coach, founder of Sports Conflict Lab, and author of Managing Sports Conflict: Five Tools to Master Conflict.Bill and I discuss why conflict isn’t always negative, how emotions can prevent productive conversations, what may really be hiding beneath a disagreement, and how properly managed conflict can actually strengthen relationships, accountability, leadership, and team culture.Every coach, parent, administrator, and sports leader will take something valuable away from this conversation.
