The Daily Coach: Sports Leadership Lessons The Art of Embracing Misery
In this episode of The Daily Coach newsletter in audio form, we revisit the art of embracing discomfort—and why misery can be a tool, not a trap.
Author Steven Pressfield learned this firsthand in the Marines, where being miserable wasn’t a weakness—it was a strength. When conditions were tough, they didn’t complain—they adapted, persevered, and delivered. Their mindset: results matter more than circumstances.
This episode challenges us to stop waiting for perfect conditions—and start building the discipline to thrive in imperfect ones.
