Manage episode 384854370 series 3530017
Valorie Kondos Field is the retired UCLA women's gymnastics coach and PAC 12 Coach of the Century. In this episode, she reflects on the realization that she was inadvertently hindering her players' growth instead of fostering their potential - salting their roots instead of pouring sun onto their leaves. Valorie's story serves as a powerful reminder that change is possible when we are open to listening. Whether in the role of a parent or a coach, she emphasizes that our mission remains consistent—to bring out the absolute best in those under our care. This episode is affectionately named "Remind Your Kids That They Are Superheroes."
