I was introduced to John by Kasey Crider….I was told about a guy who completely and rather suddenly switched to an ecological approach…Knew I had to talk to him
This episode is part 1 of a 2 part series with Jon… I did Is this was b/c the conversation ended up segementing itself naturally
1st part we discuss everything from the real metric of success of coaching youth sports (it’s not wins and losses folks), to cultivating passion and enjoyment in your athletes through practice….John even demonstrates his curiosity and flips the script and starts asking me questions, which wasn’t scripted
Part 2 we get more into John making the switch to ecological dynamics
