Good morning and welcome to the Increase Your Impact podcast. I'm Justin Sua, episode 2085.

attitudes. What do your staffs add? What do the attitudes of the members of your staff say about your program the players

will take on the identity of the coaches and if the staff carries themselves with confidence
