How Athletes Learn to Handle Failure With Cody Fuqua

In this episode of Beyond Coaching, Rob talks with former college and professional baseball player Cody Fuqua about failure, resilience, and the lessons athletes carry into life after sports.

Cody shares how his athletic experiences shaped the way he now leads a team and runs a business. The conversation explores why athletes need to struggle, how coaches can help players learn from failure without making every loss feel like a crisis, and why difficult experiences often produce the most valuable growth.

Rob and Cody also discuss building trust through consistency, helping people own their development, controlling emotion after losses, and why who you are matters more than what you do.
