Quotes:
“When you work with students, telling them what your challenges are and where your struggles have been, it's so helpful for them, because a lot of the times and especially as a coach, and as a personal trainer, people just kind of look at you for who you are, right now, they don't see all of the things that you've been through.”
“If you're focusing on the process, how you're going through it, rather than the end game, then that's where you're going to have this willingness to be vulnerable and say, Okay, I learned from this mistake.”
“The incident mindset talks about the known and unknown rules, but they can be changed that the objective is to stay in the game as long as we can.”
“Your strengths have ultimately come from all the challenges that you've learned.”
