Description

Beyond the Scoreboard is committed to creating an audio experience to help you develop into the best leader you can be, so you can transform your athletes to reach their full potential both on and off the court.


In this week's episode on the Beyond the Scoreboard Podcast, Coach Furtado speaks directly to the 90–95% of U-Sports athletes who aren't on the path to Division I scholarships but still love the game. If you're a parent, coach, or young athlete wondering how to best use the 8–12 weeks of summer break, this episode is packed with real talk, practical advice, and coaching wisdom.


Here are the 5 key pillars to maximizing your summer:

  • You only get 18 summers. Make memories with family while you can.
  • Rest is powerful. Kids need a break from the grind to stay in love with the game.
  • Run your own race. Don’t get caught in the comparison trap.
  • Remember the fun. U-Sports should still be joyful and energizing.
  • Build intrinsic motivation. Help your athletes take ownership of their growth.


Whether you're hitting tournaments, taking a break or mapping out goals for next season, this episode will help you reframe how you use summer, not just for development, but for long-term love of the game and life beyond it.
