Toughness Over Talent: What Great Teams Are Built On

In this episode of The Daily Coach newsletter in audio form, we explore why mental toughness and resilience often matter more than talent alone.

As former NBA coach Jeff Van Gundy reminds us, it’s not always the most gifted players who lead to success—it’s the mentally strong ones. Great teams are built on resilience, grit, and the ability to face challenges without flinching.

This episode challenges us to value toughness over talent and build teams that can withstand adversity and rise together.

Lastly, we’re inviting your feedback on this new audio initiative. Do you prefer multiple stories in one episode each week, or shorter, single-story episodes each day? Share your thoughts in the episode’s comments or message us directly at newsletter@thedaily.coach.
