CYInterview Coaching Panel: In Pursuit of Excellence – A Roundtable Discussion on the Importance of Coaching; Featuring Mike Leach, Andy Hill and Rob Gill
With a challenging economy and millions of unemployed and underemployed Americans, we could all use some inspiration right about now. With that, we thought it would be a good idea to bring forward a panel on coaching and its importance, not only in sport but in society as a whole.
Accordingly, we brought together three stellar individuals so that they could share with CYInterview’s listeners/readers some of their experiences as relates to the world of coaching.
Even if you are an optimistic individual, who is on the right track to accomplishing your goals, the words of Mike Leach, Andy Hill and Rob Gill are sure to energize and inspire you. These three men have something important to share about the role which coaching and mentoring plays in helping a person achieve their dreams.
