Essential Coaching Conversations
Welcome to Essential Coaching Conversations with Kyle & Aseem. You asked for it, we delivered - the ESSENTIAL pod for all coaches, educators, leaders, learners, and lifers. This is real, relevant, and necessary conversation and content for anyone who wants to #StackTheDeck in their favor as a coach to not just win once, but over and over again. We are here not to provide the answer, but to ask the questions that lead us to our own answers and ultimately, fulfillment. Come with us on this journey!

Do Adults Get in the Way? To be clear, we are not painting with a broad brush. There are plenty of adults - parents, coaches, administrators, etc, who do it the right way and empower kids to learn, grow, make mistakes, and set clear boundaries of acceptable behavior. However, as we've gone into the "architect parents" era - we can't help but wonder whether adults are doing more harm than good. Follow us on Twitter...
What an absolute TREAT to have Becky Carlson, also known as the founder of The Fearless Coach, on the pod. Becky is currently the Head Women's Rugby Coach at Quinnipiac University, and alongside her duties there, she is an advocate for coaches and accountability in sport. There are so many great nuggets in this episode that will have you nodding along, questioning why we do things the way we do, and taking you down the RACA pro...

--- Support this ...Work/Life balance as we know it is dead. It's all about integration, now. Fitting life around work and work around life to make it one big jumble. Part I focuses on the adults - how do we do it? Part II will focus on the kids.

Perfectionism is a hustle.
Yet, our youth and subsequent generations are suffering at the hands of "perfect," being the enemy of their GOOD or GREAT.
Perfect is not a thing. However, we can lean into the details that make Good, Better, and Best happen. How? Let's talk about it.

So...this episode wasn't at all part of the plan. It just kind of happened. We had a topic we wanted to talk about, but instead you get the unfiltered, raw conversation that followed a series of questions and thoughts posed by both of us. This is what we do on ECC.

This may be the most asked yet least important question in the history of recruiting. Yet...we continue to hear it, almost as if it's been doubled down upon as a necessity to make decisions. Let's talk about it.

Who is the vibe architect on your team? How do we build that skill? Further, how do we encourage that skill in all our players, not just the ones that don't play a whole lot?

There's a difference between sharing the game and stealing the game. There's a difference between sharing COACHING and sharing something you can DO as a coach. We differentiate, discuss, and dive deep into the era of content creators masquerading as coaches and what that means for exponential generational change.

In this episode, the guys tackle the idea of ignoring the noise and how damaging that can actually be. How do we decipher through the noise? Do we RACA appropriately in the moment? How do we take care of our insecurities and mental health while dealing with everyone having an opinion that is usually unfounded in reality?

Take a deep breath. Woosah. This is a heavy episode that needed to be made. Hazing affects all teams, all organizations, and can be innocuous in nature or super damaging. Either way, it's a challenge to navigate. We do our best in this episode to bring light to questions we need to be asking as educators, how to talk to teams about it, and really just unpacking the latest news in athletics hazing as compared to other organizati...

We said what you wish you could - use it and run with it!
