Are coaches lazy?
My response to the question “Are coaches lazy?” Nope. While laziness is something that hits 99% of people at times (and for some more than others), I don’t think the majority of coaches are struggling because they’re lazy. My belief is they don’t know what they should...
The myth about the “December lull”
I've heard coaches say that they're taking the month of December off, because "it's not that busy" … But when you have that attitude it becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy! If you don't work for a month, chances are you won't get much business. I've kept busy every...

10 years, few changes
This past March I celebrated the 10 year anniversary of my coaching business. When I catch up with old coaching friends on Zoom, they often ask me what's new with my business … The funny thing is it's stayed pretty similar to what it looked like in my early years...

I’m not Michael Jordan, but …
I'm reading Tim S, Grover's "W1nning", which I highly recommend (his 2013 book "Relentless" is a must-read too) … Grover coached greats like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, and in the book he tells the story of Kobe calling Jordan in the middle of the night to ask how...
