Conversation with Nate Baker
Manage episode 488248470 series 3448487
In this episode, I’m joined by Nate Baker—former Division 1 soccer captain, professional player, coach, and founder of The Developer’s Way. With over 35 years of experience across every level of American soccer, Nate has seen the gaps in how we develop players—and he's on a mission to change that.
We talk about what it means to truly put people at the center of development, how to build environments that prioritize long-term growth over short-term wins, and the tools coaches, parents, and leaders need to reimagine their approach to the game.
Nate also shares the story behind The Developer’s Way, a platform that’s helping coaches evolve their leadership, rethink their methods, and create cultures where athletes thrive.
Whether you're a coach, parent, or athlete, this conversation will challenge you to reflect on what development means—and how to build it with intention.
