New #Musing - The Social Dilemma
I recognize the irony in using social media to highlight the dangers of social media, but as they mention in the film, you have to reach the users where they’re at.

While I know that’s not possible, I am able to share my own evolution, regrets and mistakes - past and ongoing- with the hope of keeping this conversation alive for real change.
6/6

[Valorie Kondos Field @OfficialMissVal]

For long-term change to take place, I believe tough conversations are required. I have made many mistakes in my coaching career and regret the times that I was bullish, sarcastic and mean. I acknowledge that behavior and, over the course of many years, have had one on one 1/6

[Valorie Kondos Field @OfficialMissVal]

Instead, I hope that others can learn from my shortcomings and realize that change is ongoing and possible. I wish all of my athletes could’ve been led by the coach I was the last 10 years of my career. 5/6
