02 Pressure, Perseverance and the Big Picture with Malcom and Marcy Blacken

For this episode I had a great conversation with Malcolm and Marcy Blacken.
 
Malcolm Blacken is the Director of Player Development for the Washington Redskins.
He previously served as a strength and conditioning coach for the Redskins, the Detroit Lions and the University of Colorado Buffaloes 
He was also a running back and a four-time letter winner for Virginia Tech.
 
Marcy Blacken has over twenty years’ experience as group fitness instructor, trainer and manager in the fitness industry.
 
Also, Marcy was my boss when I was a group fitness instructor back in the day. 
Yes, I taught a cycle class for 17 years. 
No, I don’t want to talk about it.
 

Malcolm mentions that a head coach in the NFL is responsible for who a player is on the field. But the directory of player development is responsible for who the player is off the field.
 
Here’s are some questions I want you think about this week: 
What would it look like for you to view yourself as the director of player development in your home? 
What goals do you have for your child’s development as a person? 
What steps are you taking to pursue them?
