In a special live coaching call, host JP Nerbunn works with John Newman-Gonchar, a Division I head women's volleyball coach. The conversation is a raw and vulnerable exploration of the struggles many coaches face: balancing a demanding career with family life while rediscovering the initial passion and joy that led them to the profession.
John reveals a deep-seated feeling of being pulled in a hundred different directions, which he believes detracts from his ability to give his best to his team and his family. The session focuses on challenging John’s core beliefs, particularly the idea that being a serious, high-performing coach is incompatible with being lighthearted and joyful. Through powerful questions and reflections, the discussion helps John identify his personal vision for his "best self"—a coach who is both intense and serious about his craft, and simultaneously joyful, lighthearted, and emotionally present. The episode concludes with John committing to specific, actionable steps to bring this new, aligned version of himself into his upcoming season.
