Summary

We’re midway through the year and now is an appropriate time to take a step back and reflect on the unpredictable and unprecedented year we’ve had so far. For better or worse, it has forced change, but it is not too late to step up and lead.

This "Best of" revisits a few episodes on the importance of strong leadership and building resilience. Even if you’ve already listened, we invite you to:

Listen again now that we’re a few months into this new normal
Absorb and take what is useful to you and your current situation
Use it to support each other, your friends, and your family
Share this episode and apply to your teams

Take note, coaches and managers: It isn’t all a disaster! It is, however, time to step up and lead. You have tools at your disposal to help and it just takes a little dose of clarity, communication, planning, and leaning into your biggest assets you have: your athletes. Leaders? Same applies. It is time to plan, communicate, and lean into YOUR biggest assets - your employees.

Help them to develop a platform of resilience, provide a release from their rigors and stressors, ensure they feel connected, and continue to lead with a sense of purpose and direction.
