    What keeps you coming back to the gym when everything feels impossible? When the losses pile up, when self-doubt creeps in, when life throws curveballs - what makes you stay in the game?

    In this powerful episode, we dive deep into the difference between growth and resilience in coaching. Through raw, honest storytelling about 50-point losses, battling imposter syndrome, and finding strength in vulnerability, we explore why traditional 'growth' isn't always enough.

    For every coach who's sat alone in their car after a tough loss... For every coach comparing themselves to more experienced leaders... For every coach wondering if they're making any real difference - this conversation is for you.

    We'll unpack:

    • The three pillars of coaching resilience
    • Real strategies for battling coaching self-doubt
    • How to stay strong for your team while facing personal challenges
    • Finding purpose beyond the scoreboard

    Plus, a look inside actual coaching notes from early career struggles that still ring true today.

    Whether you're in your first season or your fifteenth, this episode offers a fresh perspective on what it truly means to be resilient in coaching. Because sometimes, the biggest victories aren't about what we add to our coaching toolbox - they're about finding the strength to use what we already have when everything feels like it's falling apart.

    Join us for some real talk about the challenges we usually keep to ourselves, and discover why building resilience might be the most important skill you'll develop as a coach.
