You’re probably familiar with the NCAA men’s basketball tournament. 66 teams battle it out for the title of national champion.

This year, one team is coached by Chris Beard. He’s led them on an amazing journey, and they’re currently in the Final Four. If you’re not familiar with Coach Beard, now is a good time to get to know him.

We sat down with Coach Beard to learn more about his life and his coaching philosophy. Here’s what he had to say.

Biography of Chris Beard

You’re probably familiar with the name Chris Beard. He’s the head coach of the Texas Tech Red Raiders men’s basketball team. But what you might not know is that Beard is a survivor.

He was born in Dalhart, Texas, in 1965. When he was just five years old, his father died in a car accident. That tragedy would haunt him for years to come. But Beard persevered, and eventually got his start in coaching as an assistant at McMurry University.

In 2001, he was hired as the head coach of NAIA school Southern Nazarene University. And in 2011, he became the head coach of Midland College. But it was his move to Texas Tech in 2016 that really made headlines. Less than a year after taking the job, he led the Red Raiders to their first-ever NCAA tournament berth.

Why Beard Is a Great Coach

Beard is a great coach because he relates to his players on a personal level. He knows how to push them to their limits, but he also knows when to back off and give them some space. He doesn’t try to change his players into something they’re not; instead, he encourages them to be the best version of themselves.

He’s also been successful in developing strong relationships with his players. They admire him and want to do their best for him. When they make a mistake, Beard doesn’t berate them or humiliate them in front of their teammates. He’ll often take them aside and talk to them one-on-one, helping them learn from their mistakes.

All of these qualities make Beard an excellent coach and mentor.

What Sets Beard Apart From Other Coaches

What sets Beard apart from other coaches is his ability to connect with his players on a personal level. He can see the potential in each player and help them reach their fullest potential.

Beard truly cares about his players, and his approach has paid off. Under Beard’s leadership, Texas Tech basketball has made it to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in over two decades.

Major Accomplishments of the Texas Tech Red Raiders Under Beard

In just three years, Coach Beard has taken the Red Raiders to places they’ve never been before.

In 2018, Texas Tech made it to the Elite Eight for the first time in program history. Then in 2019, they made it all the way to the National Championship game—something that had never been done before. And even though they didn’t win, it was still an incredible accomplishment.

And this year? They’re off to a great start again and are currently ranked No. 4 in the nation. So it’s safe to say that Chris Beard is changing the game—literally.

Beard’s Major Coaching Philosophies

The next thing you should know about Chris Beard is what kind of coach he is. And that’s tough to nail down in just a few words because he’s the type of coach who adapts his style to the team he has.

But there are a few things that are always true about his coaching. One is that he’s a demanding coach who expects his players to give 100% on the court.

Another is that he’s a defensive-minded coach. He’s not one of those coaches who goes for the quick points and lets the other team run up the score. He wants his team to play tough defense and make the other team work for every point.

And finally, he’s a coach who really knows how to motivate his players. He knows when to give them a pep talk and when to get on their case. He knows how to push them and how to get them to buy into his vision for the team.

So what does the future hold for Chris Beard? More of the same, most likely. He’s going to keep winning and developing young men into great basketball players and even better human beings. And as a consequence, we’ll all be better off.

Chris Beard is more than just a basketball coach. He’s a role model, mentor, and support system for his players. When you’re as successful as Beard has been, it’s easy to rest on your laurels, but that’s not something he’s ever done.
