Pressure doesn’t just reveal talent. It reveals whether you’re willing to listen, adjust, and grow.In this episode, Chris and Amy sit down with three Division I student-athletes (their children), Kendall Steer and Lauren Steer of Georgetown University and AJ Larkin of the University of Maryland, to explore what it really means to be coachable.Through a candid conversation about feedback, accountability, humility, and trust, they unpack how high performers respond when challenged, corrected, or asked to change. While their experiences were shaped through athletics, the lessons extend far beyond the field into leadership, business, and life.Because the best performers don’t have all the answers. They remain open to coaching, committed to growth, and ready to adapt when the pressure is on.
