The Championship Mindset: Why Playing The Coaches Role Is So Important To You And Others

In this episode, we're exploring one of life's most powerful and often overlooked roles—being a COACH. Today, we're breaking down why coaching isn't just about sports or business—it's about every single relationship you have. Whether you're a parent, spouse, friend, leader, or mentor, you're playing the coaching role whether you know it or not.

We're diving into what separates great coaches from good ones. I'm sharing a raw, personal story about being a young, naive freshman basketball player who got dunked on by a senior. My coach didn't just let it slide—he built ME up. He set consequences that meant something. He lined up every big man on the team and made me stop each and every one of them. That wasn't just about basketball—that was about a mindset that was preparing me for LIFE. That was about building resilience for the inevitable moments when heartbreak, job loss, rejection, and adversity come charging down the lane at full speed.

This is about LEGACY. It's about grooming your kids to value what you value. It's about inspiring your spouse, developing your team, mentoring your friends, and showing people what's possible before they ever have to ask. Are you coaching people up to believe they can go against ANYBODY, no matter what the world tells them? Are you helping others find the confidence within themselves? That's the real coaching game right now -- BUILDING A CHAMPIONSHIP MINDSET.

We're also diving into the different levels of coaching—personal, relational, professional. We're exploring how this connects to our mini-series on life roles: the GM, the Coach, the Player, the Cheerleader, the Fan. Each one matters. Each one has a season. Each one has a purpose.
