We are so honored to have Nick Mingione join us at our Leadership Summit in Lexington, KY on October 9. His story of a historical run this year is so much more than a sports story. Come learn from this amazing leader who is of the highest integrity and character you will find! BIO:From his first meeting with the players, University of Kentucky Wildcats head coach Nick Mingione brought a very clear and specific vision to the program: they would be a family, they would focus on developing the “Student. Person. Player” and they would do things that had never been done before.? ?? In his first season, the Cats did exactly that, winning an NCAA Regional championship in front of the largest crowd in school history to that point and advancing to a Super Regional for the first time. After posting the most wins by a first-year head coach, Mingione was recognized as the Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year and the Rawlings/Perfect Game National Coach of the Year. Since that debut season it has only gotten better as UK has advanced to the second Super Regional in its history, hosted one (it’s third overall) for the first time and advanced to the school’s first College World Seres. In between, Mingione won his second SEC and National Coach of the Year awards, and saw more of his players recognized for their off field and academic work.?
