"Don't be talking about your three home run games. They don't care about that. It just makes them feel inadequate. Tell 'em about how you went 0 for 5 w/ 5 strikeouts, show your humanness."  -Dave Turgeon.  

Three Ways We Can Be More Vulnerable  

ASK! - Ask the silly get-to-know-you questions. Favorite food? Place to vacation? Then continually ask the deeper ones, "what are your strengths? Weaknesses? How can I improve?  

Share - Sharing your story is so powerful in connecting with kids. I always share the story of getting cut from varsity in my junior year because that's relatable for kids. They don't want to hear how good you were; they also want to hear the challenges they are going through right now.  

Make Mistakes - Be willing to own your mistakes and ask for feedback. If you want your athletes to grow constantly, you must role model what it looks like first!
