Hello coach, athlete, mentor! As I have taken on life and sports over the last two decades, certain lessons have always resonated with me. Throughout my journey, I have taken countless leadership courses as a military member, coach, and student of the game. They have always taught me that there are many ways to accomplish a goal, build a team, and most importantly the value of having good communication. In these 19 years, I have taken notes on my “aha” moments, inspirational quotes, and questions that I found value in. I have converted the learning objectives and tried to make them applicable to the teams I coach and individuals I have the opportunity to mentor. This journal is now a culmination of five years of discussions, self-reflection, and personal growth which has proven effective for my teams and myself alike.
