Sherri Coale and The Undercooked Steak

In this episode of The Daily Coach: Sports Leadership Lessons, we revisit a story shared by former Oklahoma women’s basketball coach Sherri Coale on the subtle art of evaluating people. True character, she reminds us, isn’t revealed in highlight reels or interview answers but in how individuals handle life’s everyday moments, like a delayed flight or a wrong food order. This episode explores how to look beyond polished resumes and focus on the quiet cues that reveal authenticity, humility, and grace under pressure.
