Why We Coach (a personal essay)

from Stories for the Third Quarter: Midlife, Myth, and Meaning · host Scott Bryson, PhD

In this episode, Scott Bryson reads Why We Coach, a story about Little League that turns out to be about much more than baseball. Through moments of frustration, humor, ego, and unexpected connection, we explore what coaching reveals about us as parents, as people, and as participants in our own lives. Along the way, we look at how the desire to help, to succeed, to control, and ultimately to love, all show up in ways we don’t always anticipate.Learn more at ⁠https://www.sbryson.com⁠Prefer video?
