Jared here. In this episode, I sit down with Andrew May, Head Coach of Snow College Men’s Basketball—a team that spent much of last season ranked No. 1 in the NJCAA.

Coach May takes us inside the culture and demands of high-level junior college basketball, breaking down what makes JUCO so different and why the JUCO path is the perfect fit for certain players. We talk about the balance between developing talent and competing for championships, the level of discipline required to succeed in such a compressed two-year window, and the habits he expects his players to embody from day one.

He shares how Snow identifies players who can thrive in their environment, the non-negotiables he looks for beyond talent, and why maturity and self-awareness often separate those who succeed from those who fade out. This is especially important since the reality of JUCO basketball is often misunderstood by parents and high school athletes.

Snow’s program is certainly the focal point of our discussion, but this conversation isn’t just about what it takes to be great at Snow. It’s about the habits and mindset that carry over to success at the next level. If you want a clear picture of the pace, intensity, and expectations inside one of the best JUCO programs in the country, this conversation delivers it.
