In August of 2020, Apple TV+ released the first season of Ted Lasso, the story of an American football coach who is hired to manage a soccer team in the English Premier League. After two seasons and 22 episodes, the show is a runaway hit, winning 7 Primetime Emmy awards in 2021, including “Outstanding Comedy Series.” In this episode, I speak with Sean Stevinson of Lafayette, Colorado, and Kim Tuck of Strathroy, Ontario. The three of us have a conversation about the lessons we can take from “Ted Lasso” and use in our youth programs.
NOTE: This conversation was recorded in late January 2022.
Some of the topics we discuss:
* Introductions for Sean (1:50) & Kim (2:04)
* Show summary (2:40)
* First lessons: Kim (3:54), Sean (5:34) & Glenn (6:58)
