Building Champions | Skip Bertman on Discipline, Culture & Overcoming Obstacles

Skip Bertman walked into LSU with zero national championships and a culture still being built. Now, decades later, the legendary coach sits down with Shawn French alongside former Tigers Ryan Theriot and Blair Barbier to reveal how discipline, brotherhood, and unwavering character standards turned a losing program into a dynasty. In this raw conversation, Skip breaks down the non-negotiable habits that build champions—and why that same mentality applies to overcoming obstacles in business and life.
