The most important quality in a mentor, teacher, or coach is not how much they know. It's how much they care.
Caring is more than taking pride in your success. It's feeling joy as you progress.

If we don't teach young boys that it's okay to have emotions or that it's okay to be vulnerable, they'll never grow up to feel like it is. @Kschwart@everforwardclub@BranchSpeaks
