In Episode 4 of our Great Coaches series, Kelly talks with Ali Truwit, who went from Yale Division I swimmer to shark attack survivor to Paralympic silver medalist in just over a year. Two days after her college graduation, a snorkeling trip in Turks and Caicos ended with Ali losing her left foot and part of her leg as a result of a shark attack. What followed wasn't just a physical recovery but a complete reimagining of identity, guided by coaches who understood that rebuilding Ali meant helping her see what was still there, not what was lost.

In the third episode of our Great Coaches series, Kelly sits down with Eric Ripert, chef and co-owner of Le Bernardin, whose three Michelin stars pale in comparison to his journey from surviving brutal kitchen culture to creating something entirely different. Through stories about the legendary cruelty of mentor Joel Robuchon and the moment Eric realized he was becoming someone he didn't recognize, he reveals how the restaurant industry's tradition of abuse nearly broke an entire generation of chefs. This conversation delves into the hard-won wisdom of a chef who discovered that kindness isn't weakness—it's the secret ingredient that changes everything. Eric's book (written with Veronica Chambers) which was mentioned in this episode is: 32 Yolks: From My Mother's Table to Working the Line Also mentioned: A Return to Cooking To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

How do you help someone see their own work more clearly without breaking their spirit? In this 2nd episode of our "Great Coaches" series, Kelly talks with her editor Andy Ward about the delicate art of literary coaching—knowing when to push a writer toward uncomfortable truths and when to step back and let them find their own way. Through stories about working with David Sedaris, George Saunders and the posthumous publication of When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi, Andy reveals how great editing is really about asking the right questions, building trust through close attention and helping writers discover what their book is truly about. This conversation covers the psychology of creative partnership, the vulnerability of sharing early drafts and why the best coaches never impose their vision but instead help others see their own more clearly. It's a "must listen" for anyone interested in writing.

In this episode, we're diving into Truth 10: how committing to mastery—rather than dabbling—transforms not only your confidence but also your ability to create real impact as a coach. If you've ever felt stuck or unsure about your next step, this is your moment. We're talking about why “winging it” holds you back and how intentional growth, consistent practice, and honest feedback are the keys to becoming the coach your clients will always remember. This isn't about perfection; it's about showing up, leveling up, and leading with clarity and power.  You'll learn what committing to mastery looks like in real life, how it shifts your mindset, and why surrounding yourself with the right people is crucial to your growth. Plus, we'll explore the hidden costs of staying in “dabbling mode” and how it can weigh on your belief in your potential.  If this resonates with you, it's time to stop asking, “Am I ready?” and start asking, “How far am I willing to grow?” Ready to step into your potential?

Send us a text"Great coaches don't know more. They notice more." This powerful insight challenges the fundamental misconception that keeps so many coaches—both beginners and veterans—from reaching their potential. If you've ever felt like you need more tools, frameworks, or knowledge before you can truly help others, this episode will transform your approach to coaching.We explore why the most meaningful breakthroughs rarely come from impressive techniques or clever questions. Instead, they emerge from creating space where both coach and client can slow down enough to see what's actually happening. When you're fully present, you notice subtle body language shifts, significant word choices, and energetic changes that might otherwise pass unacknowledged. These observations often lead to the most transformative moments in coaching.The distinction between knowing and noticing couldn't be more relevant in today's information-saturated world. With AI making knowledge increasingly accessible, what people truly crave isn't more information—it's greater clarity that comes through genuine presence. Great coaches understand this intuitively; they coach the whole person, not just the intellect. This same quality of attention transforms not only coaching relationships but all human connections. Think about when someone last gave you their complete attention. How did it feel? We challenge you to bring that level of presence to everyone you meet today—your family, colleagues, and clients. You might be surprised by what becomes possible.Ready to discover why trying to be the "best" coach might actually be making you worse?

Send us a textI've always wondered why some great players struggle to become great coaches—and why good (not great) players, the ones who weren't always at the top, often turn out to be great coaches.Our personal story, our expectations, and even our success can sometimes get in the way of truly seeing and developing others.If you've ever led a team, raised a kid, coached someone, or even just tried to help a friend, you need this episode. It's not about cloning people into mini-versions of you. It's about suspending your story long enough to actually see their story.Let's talk about how to lead from the shadows and be the coach you wish you had.Let's get it! Support the show

Ever wondered why some of the best coaches out there—talented, smart, and experienced women—still find marketing their coaching services to be a real struggle? If you're nodding along, this episode is for you. I've seen it time and again: incredible coaches who are brilliant at helping clients, but when it's time to talk about what they do, something gets lost in translation. Why is it that being great at coaching doesn't automatically make you great at marketing yourself? That's exactly what I'm unpacking in today's episode. I'm pulling back the curtain on the two big (but often hidden) mistakes I see skilled coaches making in their marketing. These aren't mistakes you can just Google—these are subtle but powerful ways you might be holding yourself back from connecting with your dream clients. Here's a glimpse at what I cover in this episode: What's really going on when amazing coaches struggle to “sell” themselves—and it's not what you think. Why talking about the root cause of your clients' struggles can actually turn them away, even though it feels like it should do the opposite. How to stop confusing your clients with solutions they're not even searching for yet—and what to focus on instead. Why comparing features and benefits of your offer misses the mark, and what your clients are actually weighing up before choosing to work with you. If you've ever felt like your marketing just isn't landing—or if you're tired of spinning your wheels and second-guessing your messaging—this one's a must-listen. I promise: you'll come away with practical shifts to help your coaching attract the right clients, without feeling unnatural or salesy. Ready to finally understand what's been holding you back?

Summary   In this episode of the Conquer Athlete Podcast, hosts Ryan Bucciantini and Jason Leydon discuss the nuances of coaching, particularly focusing on the elusive 'final 10%' that separates good coaches from great ones. They explore the importance of building habits, fostering belief, and developing resilience in athletes. The conversation delves into the mindset required to overcome limitations and the significance of competing as a skill. The hosts emphasize the need for scenario-based training to prepare athletes for real competition environments, ultimately highlighting the intricate relationship between coaching strategies and athlete performance.   Takeaways The final 10% is what separates good coaches from great coaches. Great coaching involves understanding the unique needs of each athlete. Building belief and resilience is crucial for athlete development. Competing is a skill that can be developed over time. Mindset coaching is essential for overcoming performance anxiety. Creating controlled chaos in training helps athletes adapt to competition pressure. Effective communication fosters trust and belief in athletes. Athletes often underestimate their potential due to self-doubt.

In episode #299, we welcome upcoming presenter at this June's TCS Live, Grizzlys Wolfsburg Head Coach Mike Stewart. At the time of this recording, he is currently preparing for his fifth season leading the Grizzlys. He has a unique origin story as a player that includes his mother discovering a loophole that would enable him to enroll at Michigan State University, without a high school diploma, and leading to being drafted in the first round by the New York Rangers. Following his retirement due to injury, he would immediately jump behind the bench as an Assistant Coach with Villacher SV of the Austrian ICE Hockey League. Now 15 seasons later, Mike has spent the bulk of his coaching career in the DEL. He remains a student of the game, and is engaged with the challenge of leading the Grizzlys, a smaller market club in a league with no salary cap, to DEL title. Listen he shares why the best coaches are the best thieves, why passing is a lost art, and why North America should adopt Olympic-sized rinks
