In this episode, I share five ideas designed to challenge the way you think about coaching, leadership, and development.

We explore the potential benefits of injuries, why autonomy matters in player development through “20% Time,” and how player selection decisions can shape the floor and ceiling of your team. I also break down why the ability to develop yourself is the most crucial skill, and an idea for staff development with 5-Minute Meetings.

I also share recommendations for books that I’ve loved across business, self-development, coaching, and fiction.

This podcast evolved from my book, Strength In Numbers — the ultimate mentorship guide for coaches.

Featuring insights from 100+ ELITE coaches across every level and sport, it’s an encyclopedia of coaching wisdom built to help you grow your career, navigate failure, and find long-term coaching success.
