🎙️ WHAT IF WE’VE BEEN TEACHING COMPETITION WRONG?
Most athletes are taught to beat the person across from them.
Run faster. Score more. Earn the starting spot. Win the matchup.
But Josh Young challenges athletes and coaches to think differently: What happens when your greatest competition becomes the person you were yesterday?
On a recent episode of the Game Changers Lead Podcast, we sat down with Josh, former Drake University standout, professional basketball player, and author of Competition of One, for a powerful conversation about performance, leadership, and program culture.
We talked about what happens when athletes start taking ownership of their own growth.
Because here's the challenge for us as coaches:
Great cultures don't eliminate competition. They teach athletes how to compete the right way.
When athletes learn to pursue excellence without constantly measuring themselves against everyone else, we begin developing competitors who are more confident, accountable, resilient, and capable of leading others. Check out this episode and then join the conversation below.
🏀 COACH CONVERSATION:
Are you building a culture where your athletes are simply trying to beat each other, or one where they're challenging each other to become better?
What does that look like in your program?
