286 Steve Magness on Building Mental Toughness in Athletes, Part 2

Coaching Culture

Steve Magness is a world-renowned expert on performance, well-being, and sustainable success. His most recent book is Do Hard Things: Why We Get Resilience Wrong and the Surprising Science of Real Toughness. In Part 1 of this series, JP, Nate, and Steve discussed the dangers of leading with fear. In this episode (Part 2), JP and Nate visit with Steve about coaches that actually lead out of fear, meaning many coaches are afraid to make decisions or hold players accountable because of how athletes might respond. Listen in on how to equip yourself (and others) with tools on how to overcome any setback or challenge.
