[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Mitch Johnson shares the biggest lesson he learned from Gregg Popovich.

"How important people and relationships are."

"He understands people and relationships and the significance of every moment and every touch point with every person."

The best leaders and coaches invest in people.

Then he explained what investing in people really looks like:
"That can be having to yell and hold someone accountable. And that can be to put your arm around someone's shoulder and love 'em."

The best leaders combine high standards with high support.

"He did it better than anybody, I think, that's ever walked the sidelines."

"I will attempt to do it my way in whatever that looks like moving forward."

Great leadership isn't one style. It's knowing your people well enough to give them what they need.

Invest in the relationships. Care about people, hold them to their potential, and lead in your style.

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

Real coaching doesn’t end until the final whistle and even then, the impact lasts far beyond the game.

Because coaching isn’t just about building better players.
It’s about building better people.

Wins matter. Growth matters more.
