Bruce Brown from Proactive Coaching (https://proactivecoaching.info/) joins Beyond Coaching in this episode. Throughout his 32 years of experience in teaching, coaching, and serving as an athletic administrator, Bruce has laid the foundation of positive change in the world of coaching.

 They serve as mentors, instilling a sense of purpose in their athletes, guiding them towards success not just in sports, but in life. Bruce’s unique perspective on purpose-driven coaching and the way he balances it with the competitive aspect of sports will inspire you. As we move deeper into the conversation, we tackle the pivotal elements of toughness, grit, empathy, and trust. Bruce guides us through his approach to nurturing these qualities in athletes and the immense impact it has had on his successful coaching career.

Finally, we explore the riveting concept of a ‘fearless culture’ in sports. How do coaches handle different types of mistakes athletes make? How can we foster an environment where players feel safe to take risks and learn from their missteps? These are just some of the questions we dive into.
