Brian Smith, Head Wrestling Coach and author of Tiger Style, Eight Steps to Developing a Winning Culture, enjoys inspiring Mizzou students by sharing practical, values-based lessons on leadership and how to lead with purpose.

In his own words: "In my 36 years of coaching, I've learned that strong leadership is essential—not just from the person in charge, but from everyone in the program. Leadership education matters because it helps create a culture where people take responsibility, support one another, and commit to helping others succeed and grow. Those are life skills, not just team skills. We are at our best when our young men lead through action, accountability, and service, and when they truly live Tiger Style."
