In this episode, Jiunta and Veronica break down what separates good coaches from great ones, from building trust with clients to navigating high-stakes environments with elite athletes. We dive into the challenges of coaching in real-world settings, the balance between confidence and humility, and why communication is just as important as technical knowledge.
