#254 How to Avoid Burnout, Find Balance, and Refire in 2022: A Fireside Chat with John O'Sullivan and Dr. Jerry Lynch

2021 was a tough year for all of us. 2022 is not starting out any easier. So many coaches have told us that they feel exhausted, at wits end, burned out, frustrated, and more. That's why Jerry Lynch and I decided to kick off 2022 with one of our Fireside Chats and to discuss avoiding burnout, finding balance, and not just resetting but re-firing in 2022. 

If you are new to our podcast, Dr. Jerry Lynch is our sometime co-host and Founder of Way of Champions. He is the author of 14 books and one of the leading sports and performance psychologists in the world. His teams have won 39 NCAA and Professional sports championships across a variety of sport, and we always love these conversations as they provide such insight and wisdom.

This week’s podcast is brought to you by our friends at Sprocket Sports.  Sprocket Sports is a new software platform for youth sports clubs.  Yeah, there are a lot of these systems out there, but Sprocket provides the full enchilada. They give you all the cool front-end stuff to make your club look good– like websites and marketing tools – AND all the back-end transactions and services to run your business better so you can focus on what really matters – your players and your teams.
