“The credit belongs to the ‘person’ who is actually in the arena”. -Theodore Roosevelt. In this episode, Eric Kasimov chats with Matt Doherty, North Carolina Tar Heel, former College Basketball Coach, and business coach.
Coach Doherty and Eric explore growing up on the playground courts, leaders that have shaped so many, and dealing with haters and other obstacles.
Coach Matt delivers some amazing lines in this episode including, “The Man in the Arena” quote as shown below. And this line as he discussed his early days: “the park is a truth-teller, basketball is a truth-teller.”
Matt is a North Carolina Tar Heel. A college basketball National Champion. And a college teammate to the greatest basketball player ever, Michael Jordan. Matt is the former head coach at Notre Dame, UNC, Florida Atlantic, and SMU, while also serving as an assistant at Kansas for 7 years.
Today Coach Doherty coaches businesses. And after chatting with him, it’s easy to see why. We are grateful Matt stopped by to chat with us on the SportsEpreneur Podcast.

Here is the full “The Man in the Arena” quote from Theodore Roosevelt via GoodReads.com:
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” – Theodore Roosevelt | As seen on GoodReads.com.
