CTS Episode 223- Safe Coaches

Cross The Stream Podcast

In this episode, we explore the evolving landscape of coaching, relationships, and personal growth. We dive into the contrasting philosophies of "hard coaching" versus creating trust and safety for players, using two impactful quotes as our guideposts. I challenge the notion that effective coaching requires emotional detachment or harshness, arguing that true success comes from building relationships rooted in trust, empathy, and authenticity. We also introduce a practical segment on "5 things to ask instead of 'how was school,'" offering fresh conversation starters for parents, coaches, and partners to deepen their connections with those they care about. Whether you're looking to redefine how you coach, lead, or check in with your family, this episode will inspire new approaches to fostering growth and accountability—without sacrificing humanity. Tune in for insights on redefining toughness and making your presence count in the lives of your players, family, and teams.
