The Leadership Playbook: Resilience, Presence & Purpose

In this episode of The Daily Coach newsletter in audio form, we explore the power of embracing the climb, realigning priorities, and staying present in our lives.

First, Oregon head coach Dan Lanning has built his program on connection, toughness, growth, and sacrifice—values shaped by personal and professional challenges. His journey is a testament to resilience, preparation, and the relationships that define us.

Next, NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski leaves ESPN to become the GM at St. Bonaventure, prioritizing purpose over prestige. His story challenges us to ask: Are we investing in what truly matters—our relationships, values, and impact?

Finally, Coach Prime Deion Sanders delivers a masterclass in presence with one simple phrase: “I got a kickstand down.” His words remind us that being grounded doesn’t mean losing ambition—it means fully embracing where we are.

This episode challenges us to rethink our relationships, our purpose, and the meaning of life and leadership.
