Episode 71: The Impact Of Giving Back To The Community

This isn't just about playing your sport; it's about making a real difference. Let me share a personal story. Back in college, my coach took us to read to underprivileged youth in an inner city. That experience has stayed with me forever.When we talk about a team's identity, one of the most powerful things you can do is engage with your community. Whether you're a professional team, a college squad, or a youth group, stepping into your community and offering assistance can be transformative. It not only brings accountability to your community but also gives your team and athletes a deeper purpose to play for.You represent more than just your team; you're a part of the community you play in. Getting involved provides a sense of responsibility and a new perspective on the everyday challenges people face. It’s about understanding and contributing to the world outside your sport.This kind of community involvement is essential. It's not just about building a successful team in terms of wins and losses. It’s about growing as individuals, developing empathy, and learning how to contribute positively to society.I strongly believe in the power of community engagement for sports teams. It's a step towards not just being better athletes, but better people. I believe in your ability to make a difference in your community. I believe in you. You should too. I believe in YOU, your friends, your family, your team, and the power of belief in each other, and you should too.Tune into this micro podcast for bite size perspectives on trust, teamwork and life that will inspire and motivate you daily.
