Similar to our desire as coaches for players to grow out-of-season in various areas of their lives and sport, we too must take ownership of our development beyond the sidelines.

They share ways to develop solutions personally and professionally. √ Whose fault is it and does it really matter? √ Psychological safety: A non-negotiable √ The gift of transparency & vulnerability Get Your Copy of JP's Newest Book, The Culture System, now.

Dive into the world of coaching as JP and Nate highlight the importance of intentional reflection at season's end. They explore how evaluating decisions, much like poker strategy, can enhance outcomes. Coaches are encouraged to gather diverse feedback and manage their time wisely. The conversation emphasizes the 1% rule—refining existing practices instead of adding new ones for efficiency. Ultimately, they advocate for a supportive environment through thoughtful communication and exit interviews with players, promoting genuine growth.
