Episode notes

The understanding and the ability to coach others through that situation is fundamental. It's the literal bedrock, in my view, for the ability to become leaders,. ultimately, and managers as well. I think a lot of how i manage and how i lead is very intentional, because it doesn't come naturally to me. And if you look at the mediocre athlete to head coach pipe line is actually quite strong.
