Coaching Conversations | In this presentation, What Drives Winning Brett highlights a common challenge for coaches: making it about themselves rather than their team. Key Takeaway for Coaches: "If you want to walk a different path, it takes a lot of un-learning." In a post-championship interview, a head coach was asked to reflect on their success. Brett analyzed the response: Who's the coach making it about? Himself. Who's the coach not making it about? The team. This leads to a critical question: Does the system attract this behavior or create it—or both? As coaches, we preach that nobody is more important than the team, yet sometimes the system elevates individuals. When your name is on the court or outside the gymnasium, it's easy to fall into that trap. The Challenge: When you say "yes" to one thing, you're saying "no" to something else. So, how do we avoid losing ourselves inside the system? Watch the full video for more insights: https://lnkd.in/gQ6MtEJB
