Philosopher Coaches: Vince Lombardi
Episode description
In the first of what is set to be a fascinating dive into the philosophies of some of the world's greatest and most legendary coaches, Rob discusses the peerless Vince Lombardi, regarded by many to be the greatest coaches and leaders in the history of American sports.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- It is as important to ensure that our character is in as good shape as our skill set. We need to lead by example in not just what we can do, but how we do it.
- Anyone who is regarded as a great coach, is more than likely blessed with not just technical prowess, but also a philosopher of life, and a student of the human psyche.
- If we have nothing to strive for, and if we are not attempting to be the best version of ourselves, then we are missing a vital component in self-development.
- Progress should be measured in effort and not results. It is far better to suffer a valiant defeat than it is to score a lucky victory.
