Being Mic’d Up is Not Enough

With college football bowl season and the NFL playoffs close, lots of eyes will be on big games. During these games, players and coaches are sure to see and share viral clips of powerful mic’d up moments of leadership. We love these moments. However, we want players to understand that this is only a tiny portion of what real leadership looks like. It is not the only thing or the thing that makes you a leader. Being a successful communicator, motivator, and encourager in the brightest lights is a culmination of so many behind the scenes leadership moments that have built up over time, and we want to coach our athletes up on this fact because those parts of leadership are not seen on TV. We hope this episode can be a great learning experience for your players.

Have fun and #LeadEmUp

We will dive into the “demo, drill, defend” strategy that reveals the secret to coaching with consistency and clarity. Whether you’re a seasoned coach or just starting out, this episode challenges you to examine your habits and ask: Are your standards steady, or do they depend on the day?

Ep. 146: Learning Doesn’t Require Losing

Coaches often say you learn more from losing than winning, but what if that’s not the only way? In this episode, we flip the script and talk about how to build a culture where learning, reflection, and growth happen even in the midst of success. We’ll discuss how the best place to learn is through wins, so you’re not forced to grow only after a tough loss or rock-bottom moment. Great teams get better while they’re winning, and so can yours.
