    In this episode, we sit down with Shawn Lyght, Notre Dame lacrosse standout, to unpack the unseen side of leadership inside an elite program. Shawn shares what it was really like stepping into a locker room filled with older, accomplished players, learning how to prove he belonged without letting confidence turn into arrogance. We also break down the true separators at the Division I level, earning respect without forcing it, and how leadership changes when pressure increases. This conversation is a masterclass in earned leadership, humility under pressure, and what it takes to thrive in elite environments.

    Ep. 154: Leadership That’s Aged Badly

    Not all leadership development practices stand the test of time. Some ideas that once sounded effective have aged badly and may actually hold coaches and teams back today.

    In this episode, we take a hard look at the leadership concepts that no longer work and the ones that still matter. From believing that one way of thinking fits every situation, to trying to lead alone without collaboration, to calling for help only when things fall apart, we unpack the three biggest mistakes that keep leaders stuck in old habits. Join us as we explore what modern leadership really requires.
