Make Yourself Redundant - Ep. 61 "Dont Tell Me Show Me" (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Many coaches think their job is to be needed. The best coaches are working toward the opposite — developing athletes who don't look to the coach to solve every problem. This episode breaks down when to instruct, when to question, and when to step back. It's the third and final part of a series that unpacks self-leadership, peer impact, and now the coach's own role — three layers that build on each other to create athletes who can think for themselves.
