In this episode of Torch Talk, Lindsey sits down with Rick Geiser, a teacher, co-athletic director, and head girls’ basketball coach at Waynedale High School, to talk about leadership that lasts far beyond the court. With more than 30 years of experience in teaching and coaching, Rick has built a culture grounded in consistency, accountability, and care.
From implementing “RFD” (Run From Drama) as a team core value to helping players see their worth beyond wins and losses, Rick shares how relationships form the foundation of every successful classroom, team, and community. He also discusses the power of feedback, celebrating growth, and creating a space where both coaches and students can learn through failure.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
• Why strong relationships are the key to effective leadership
• How Rick helps players see value in themselves, and in others
• The role of culture in reducing drama and building unity
• How he teaches students to embrace feedback and accountability
• The leadership lessons that extend beyond sports and into everyday life
It’s a conversation full of heart, humor, and hard-won wisdom from a leader who’s shaped generations of students and athletes through purpose, patience, and positivity.
