Josh Brewer - Eastern Michigan Women's Golf
Q: What role does external funding play in your strategy, and how do you balance it with university resources?
External funding provides crucial flexibility to schedule, travel, and recruit; it requires careful ongoing communication and governance to ensure accountability and to align with the program's long-term goals.
Josh Brewer - Eastern Michigan Women's Golf
Q: How did your past experiences shape your approach at EMU, and what drew you to this job?
A combination of persistence, mentorship from coaches early in my career, and a belief that the right leadership and support system—like GameAbove—can transform a program, even when starting from a blank slate.
Josh Brewer - Eastern Michigan Women's Golf
Q: What did you learn about building a culture that can sustain success beyond a single season?
The key is establishing daily habits, a clear identity, and a mindset that values hard work and consistent improvement over chasing trophies, which then translates into confidence and performance during big events.
Josh Brewer - Eastern Michigan Women's Golf
Q: How did the national semifinals run change the recruiting and visibility for your program?

Brad McMakin - Arkansas Men's Golf Coach
Q: How does a guy from Beaumont relate to all of these international kids and be so successful?
I think that kind of helped with when we started with Nicholas, you know. But our women's team does a good job too down in South America.
