And so, I started watching film sessions a little bit differently. I started being like, ok, I'm not playing, but I was maybe not mature, but I was mature enough to understand it's not always coach's fault. I just wasn't good enough. [00:09:52] Value relationships and to value people…we are in a people business as an AD, as a coach, you are in the people business. [00:10:55] Sometimes our best decisions are made by other people. [00:11:20] I'm completely devoted to the craft. I'm completely devoted to the players. I'm soaking in everything. [00:14:11] I wasn't ready to be head coach, but I was more prepared than a lot of other people. Even though I knew it was about people, even though I cared about people, I cared about my players. I wanted to give back, wanting to make a difference. I also was a pretty big fan of myself. [00:15:02] What they want to know is how can you help me achieve my goals, my dreams my desires. How can you help me look good? [00:15:15] I cared about them, but they didn't know that because I didn't demonstrate that daily. [00:15:55] It should be our program that you're putting first, not just my program. [00:16:24] Teenagers, especially having a difficult time, reconciling those two things that seemed to be an opposition can both be true, right? They're very black and white. There's no gray space at this age. [00:17:22] Every year I felt like I got to be a little bit better coach because I screwed up the year before. [00:17:55] We don't need buy-in from our place. We need them to take ownership and be invested in the whole process. [00:19:51] If they had the same opinion, as you will get that opinion before you tell them what opinion they should have. [00:22:16] We try to fix symptoms as opposed to getting people healthy. [00:23:03] I would Institute either character leadership, teamwork, some kind of training to equip and empower your athletes. [00:25:37] Even though we want our athletes to be coachable, we don't learn and we don't grow and we don't develop and become better ourselves, but we want our athletes to do that. [00:27:00] Being around people of influence people that help us get from where we are to where we need to be, that inspires people. [00:27:10] You inspire people when they feel like they can trust you when they feel like you're there to help make them better. [00:28:26] The coach wanted to make sure that he was adding value to this player and wanting to make sure that the player felt like he was part of the process. [00:31:23]One of the number one thing is how are you maximizing your strengths? How are you minimizing your weaknesses in any way? [00:34:21] You've got to put your people in positions to be successful no matter what sport you're coaching. [00:38:24] Buy in is essentially, you're trying to get someone to agree with you as opposed to all of you collaborating and taking ownership in the process. [00:39:11] Everyone's a verbal leader, one is everybody can inform. Secondly, everybody can remind, and everybody can encourage. [00:41:32] Kids are a product of their environment and we need to meet them where they are if we're going to help them achieve the success that we want them to. [00:44:10] There are all these things that go on in the back of the bus conversations that go on. In the back of the bus and that's when your culture is made or broken sometimes. [00:48:11] Lead in the way in which you wish it would have happened for you.

	19 Jan 2018	Episode 057: Tony Gaskins, Jr. - Motivational Speaker and Life Coach	00:29:45
Tony Gaskins Jr. is a motivational speaker, author, and life coach who has appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show. Tony built his brand from scratch to where he now has more than 1 million followers on social media. At 22, he became an author. At 23, he became a husband and father. At 25, he started his first company, Soul Writers LLC. At 25, he also got himself on globally televised shows to tell a portion of his story. Tony decided to turn his pain into purpose and live a life of service. Raised in the church and being the son of a pastor, there was something about service that stuck with Tony. Tony made his fair share of mistakes like most young men from areas like where he grew up. Many of his childhood friends are serving life sentences in prison. Although Tony was introduced to the street life between the ages of 18–23, he finally found his way. At 23, he allowed love to change his life. His wife was unwilling to be with a man who wouldn’t live up to his full potential. That tough love pushed Tony to be more and to do more. By combining all of his passions Tony became an author, life coach, and speaker. In 2015 Tony began working with an NBA team as the team life coach. Tony also became the life coach for several college teams. His message comes from his mess. He believes that we all are coaches because we’ve all learned lessons that can help someone else. Operating in his gifts also took him around the world as a highly sought- after speaker. Tony has spoken in two other continents and over 10 different countries and counting. Tony was able to accomplish these feats by the tender age of 31. He doesn’t believe in boxes. “Don’t put me in a box until I’m going in the ground,” he says. He covers a wide range of topics in the areas of life, love, and business. He’s written several books on those subjects with his latest work being The Dream Chaser published by Wiley and available everywhere books are sold. In today’s episode, we discuss: His appearance on the Oprah Winfrey show How his background helped shape who he is now Writing books to help people Working with and connecting with NBA players Website: www.tonygaskins.com Twitter: @TonyGaskins Linkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/tonygaskins Facebook: www.facebook.com/tonygaskins Instagram: @TonyGaskins YouTube: www.youtube.com/user/TonyGaskins Tony Gaskins books to check out ...

	16 Jul 2018	Episode 080: PGA Caddie Paul Tesori	00:36:23
Paul Tesori is the caddie for professional golfer Webb Simpson. Paul was on the bag when Webb won the 2012 U.S. Open and 2018 THE PLAYERS Championship. In addition to Webb Simpson, Paul has caddied for some of the best golfers in the world including former #1 player Vijay Singh. In total, he has more than 20 wins as a PGA caddie. We caught up with Paul between THE PLAYERS and the Open Championship (to be held at Carnoustie, Scotland). The memories of the record-setting performance at THE PLAYERS was still fresh in his mind (especially since it is played at TPC Sawgrass, which is Paul's home course). Webb led THE PLAYERS Championship from start to finish. Along the way, he equaled the course record with his 2nd-round 63, and also the 36-hole and 54-hole PLAYERS scoring records. With the win, Webb became just the 9th player to have won THE PLAYERS and a U.S. Open. The victory also made Webb World Golf Hall of Fame eligible in the future. Paul is a Florida native and attended the University of Florida. He grew up loving sports and played golf and baseball. He was such a good golfer that he even played 21 events on the PGA Tour himself. Paul and his wife Michelle run the Tesori Family Foundation, which was founded in 2009. The foundation helps supports various charities throughout the country with focuses ranging from childhood homelessness to battered women’s shelters, from children battling disease like cancer to animal rescue charities like the Jacksonville Humane Society. In today’s episode, we discuss: Webb's runaway win at the 2018 Players Championship Why mental toughness is important in golf and life What he says to a golfer during a round Caddie-Golfer relationships, especially after breakups Paul's Twitter: @PaulTesori Michelle Tesori's Twitter: @MrsTesori FoundationTwitter: @TesoriFamilyFdt Foundation Website: TesoriFamilyFoundation.org PTI Sports Marketing: www.PassionTalentIntegrity.com Webb Simpson's Twitter: @WebbSimpson1 Articles of interest ...

If you originally heard the episode, it still might be worth listening to again as Emily has a bunch of great stories to share. If this is the first time, then you are in for a treat! Emily Chapman Richards is the vice president of Show Hope, an organization whose mission is to care for orphans and reduce barriers to adoption. Show Hope was founded by Emily’s parents Steven Curtis and Mary Beth Chapman.

Born and raised in Franklin, TN, Emily has enjoyed watching Show Hope grow from a dream in her parents’ heart to an organization that has helped thousands of children come to know the love of a family. Emily met her husband, Tanner, on a blind date at a local Starbucks. Married in 2008, Tanner and Emily are the proud parents to three beautiful ladies—Eiley, Della, and Verity. After earning her BA in International Studies and Religion from Baylor University (‘07), Emily continued her education while living abroad, graduating from Queen’s University Belfast (‘12) with a Masters of Theology.

	17 Nov 2022	Jamy Bechler on Becoming an Adoptive Dad	00:52:03
Yesterday (November 16th) was Jaylen Bechler's 13th birthday. He is the son of Jamy & Tabitha Bechler. The Bechler's adopted Jamy at birth when they were living in the Chattanooga area back in 2009. You might find Jamy's story of adopting Jaylen very interesting. This interview is from 2018 and it was the first-ever time Jamy had discussed the adoption publicly. He is transparent and honest about some things. You may find yourself shaking your head in disbelief but then understanding his thoughts all at the same time. We hope you enjoy this episode of the unCorked podcast with host Melissa Corkum. You can find out more about Melissa by visiting her website TheCorkBoardOnline.com or following her on Twitter @corkboardblog Original show summary: This week’s guest is Coach Jamy Bechler. He’s a professional speaker, leader trainer, and executive business coach and former college basketball coach. We chat about his journey to being an adoptive dad and some of his misconceptions along the way including what type of child he requested the social worker find for him and his wife. I think you’ll appreciate Jamy’s vulnerability and honesty about his story. The unCorked Podcast is hosted by Melissa Corkum blogger at the Cork Board Blog. This is the unCorked podcast--conversations with everyday extraordinary people. People who have conquered, people making a difference, and people with opinions and hearts. Brave and beautiful people, but people who, in the end, are just like you and me. If there's one thing Melissa's learned over the past 10 years, it's how much she didn't know that she didn't know. Her family's experiences in adoption and loving kids who have aged out of foster care, living in the country but owning a coffee shop in the city, and traveling internationally have greatly expanded our horizons, shifted her paradigms, and hopefully made u them better humans. The one common theme through all of those experiences was listening to people's stories. Patti Digh once said, "The shortest distance between two people is a story." So pull up a chair and an open mind and meet another one of her everyday extraordinary friends.

Todd is ﬁrst and foremost, a husband and father. His expertise in leadership and cultural dynamics comes from a broad range of experiences in the world of business and athletics, spanning over 25 years. He has held numerous executive positions in companies ranging from entrepreneurial start-up to public entity, while also serving as an assistant college basketball coach for over a decade. Following the successful launch of the Need to LEAD program, a systematic approach to shaping team culture, Todd wrote LEAD…for God’s Sake, A parable for ﬁnding the heart of leadership.
