In this episode host Rebecca Bass, and 20+ year coach Levon Burton, talk coaching! Not just how to be a better coach but how coaches of young athletes in any sport have such a huge impact on their lives.  What makes a "good" "great" and "life-changing" coach? As a coach what's the most important thing you can instill in these young people? How did you learn to coach? (trial and error, mentors, etc.) These questions and more are answered in the episode!

Key takeaways:
1. Find a mentor you aspire to coach like
2. Empathy. These kids are only human.  Understanding this will help you become a more understanding & patient coach.
3. You instilled so much more in athlete's lives.  Helping them understanding that what they do right now will translate into their adult lives. 
4.  Goals = Be Better.  Set up a recognition of where you were before and where you want to be.  This forces you to set up a plan of action.
