Coach Dee: “Know Who You Are As A Coach”

Hey kids and coaches, its OK to

STEP OUTSIDE OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE!!!

I truly enjoyed my conversation with International Gymnastics clinician, choreographer, dancer, coach and social media phenomenon, Deavera Todd.. or otherwise known as coach Dee.

In this episode we have a very candid conversation on how to help kids tap into their potential! How to let kids EXPLORE and not be afraid of failure!

Deavera is SO Open and understanding about learning from others and does NOT take this coaching thing personal, something we all can learn.

We discussed the new diversity in our sport, and how social media has exposed athletes of varying backgrounds and encouraged more participants.

What I loved most about my interview was the segment on knowing who you are as a coach!

DEE gives Great advice studying the best, and the worst—Knowing all stories good and bad! I would encourage all coaches new and experienced to listen in on our chat! Thanks DEE!
