The Daily Coach: Sports Leadership Lessons Perfectionism Isn’t Leadership
In this episode of The Daily Coach newsletter in audio form, we revisit the danger of perfectionism and the power of healthy striving.
Renowned researcher and author Dr. Brené Brown reminds us: perfectionism isn’t excellence—it’s fear in disguise. While it may feel like protection, it blocks growth, connection, and authenticity. Real leadership means being seen, not flawless.
This episode challenges us to trade the need to impress for the courage to improve—and lead from a place of purpose, not fear.
