Battles on the Blacktop - S3E3 - How Playing Basketball in the Park Taught Me Leadership Lessons

Every basketball player who’s stepped on the court in an open gym or the hot unforgiving blacktop knows how important it is to win games and hold court. If your team won, you’d get to stay on the court and challenge the next group. But if you lost, that meant you had to sit out for at least one game, and maybe more depending on how many other teams were waiting. And the feeling of losing sat deep in your stomach until it was your turn to get back on the court. In today’s episode of the Rebound Podcast, host Matt Doherty talks about some of the life lessons he learned while growing up playing basketball in East Meadow, NY, just thirty minutes outside of New York City. It was there that Matt learned toughness, how to be coachable, and how to succeed on your merits and nothing else.    To learn more about booking Coach Matt Doherty to speak at your next event or help you elevate your leadership game, visit dohertycoaching.com today.
