Nick Saban reflects on the loneliness of being a head coach and the value of having people who help you see beyond your own perspective. “Especially once you get to be a head coach, who do you talk to?...It’s interesting sometimes that the outside perspective is a little different than your perception of what it might be. And that’s very, very helpful.” When you’re immersed in the daily demands of leading a team, it can be difficult to recognize your own blind spots, question your assumptions, or see the toll the job is taking. As the saying goes, it’s hard to read the label from inside the jar. People outside your day-to-day world can help you recognize what you might otherwise overlook. Those relationships also give you space to speak honestly and work through challenges without feeling like you need to have every answer. Coaches spend so much time investing in others. They deserve relationships where someone is invested in them. If you’d like to build more support around you, I’m happy to help you explore what that could look like and who/what might help. 🎥: This Past Weekend with Theo Von
