In episode 302 of the Glass and Out Podcast we revisit one of our best talks from last year's TCS Live coaching conference from Cody Royle.

Coy specializes in coaching the coaches. He works with individuals across multiple sports, and he's also written three books: The Tough Stuff, Where Others Won’t and his latest, Second Set of Eyes. He was a coach himself and has pivoted to providing coaches observations and a sounding board to help them discover the best version of themselves.

In his talk “Coaches are Performers, Too” Royle provides tremendous insight into the importance of coaches who don't operate solely on their ego - coaches willing to be coached themselves. He also provides a system that supports coaches and helps them in situations in which they are experiencing negative mental health symptoms or early burn out. 

Listen as he shares why coaches are the greatest source of competitive advantage, how to improve the three primary skills of leadership, and why even the best coaches need coaching.
