DENVER — In episode two of 'Be Better' with Scotty Gange, Gange sits down with John Spears, a 10-year volunteer assistant coach at Chaparral high school.
Spears is also a territory General Manager at Zimmer Biomet where the interview was taken place.
Spears dives into how important it is to "reach people where they are" when it comes to connecting with both high school athletes as well as people in general.
Spears mentioned how special it is to him to have the opportunity to influence young people and how he still keeps in touch with a number of his former players and supports them.
