Leadership Notes and Other Highlights:
"If you're a good person and work hard, there will be opportunities for you."
The importance of relationships, connections, and the courage to embrace the sacrifices associated with the opportunities to chase your dreams.
Regardless of settings, leaders have to keep the expectations bar high and provide what coaching and support each athletes needs to reach that standard.
Leading is not about the leader, it's about creating a culture in which the athletes are "stakeholders" not "renters".
