22 - See one, do one, teach one (5) - Let them struggle
Today's reflection is on my main takeaway from the book Calling up by JP Nerbun. There are many lessons to be learned from it, but the biggest one I took away was the idea of letting our athletes struggle and supporting them through that struggle, rather than trying to lower the obstacles and difficulties they face.

"No written word, no spoken plea can teach our youth what they should be, nor all the books on all the shelves, it's what the teachers are themselves." Today's see one, do one, teach one is my reflection and thoughts on John Wooden's favorite poem. I think it's a great summary and reminder that we are examples and teachers 24/7, and people will notice who we are and what we do, and more importantly how we make them feel much more than what we say. I also touch on love and it's place in our purpo...

14 - See one, Do one, Teach one - 1 - The importance of Language in developing a culture
What does your language say about your team culture? In this very first "See one, do one, teach one" episode, I give you my primary takeaway from the book The Culture Code by Dan Coyle.

I think this is really powerful when it comes to defining a group's identity. Let me know what your catchphrases are, or what you've seen work or not work. Thanks for li...
