Top Takeaways from Season 2: Part 2

Picking up where I left off last week, it\u2019s time to revisit the backend of this season\u2019s podcast episodes from THE COACHES. There were coaches from college and pro football, Hall of Fame boxing trainers, Olympic coaches, and speed gurus on the final five episodes, so there\u2019s plenty to learn from this week\u2019s episode. The vital lessons that I look back on from these fascinating conversations range from how to manage a crisis, how to choose your staff to best align with your message, how to pick yourself and those around you up after a loss, and why being able to adapt as a leader is so important in the long run. You\u2019ll hear from Shepard University head football coach Ernie McCook, Strength and Conditioning coach for USA Weightlifting, Tim Swords, Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn, legendary boxer and boxing trainer Buddy McGirt, and the founder and CEO of The Sport and Speed Institute, Justin Kavanaugh, as they discuss what it means to them to be a coach. Take a listen and I hope you\u2019ve enjoyed Season 2: THE COACHES and are looking forward to the next season of Your Corner Man.
