The Sideline Seat

1 Mindset Shift. 3 Actionable Tactics. 1 Sideline Story.

Sent every Tuesday to help you build a better team.

A year in the making...

If you are getting this newsletter, you agreed to it a while ago. Thank you for your patience and grace. Let’s do it.

A little backstory on how I got here: I am a former athletic trainer who, through a series of NASCAR-style left turns, now works as a speaker, facilitator, coach, and business owner.

Last year, I decided to spend the week after the "Big Game" (IYKYK- I'm not trying to get sued by the NFL) breaking down the leadership and team lessons I saw on the field. My gift since leaving athletic training has been the ability to make connections through sports that allow for leadership and team building to be fun. Relatable. Tactical. Actionable. Uncomfortable at times, but always a little fun.

My goal is to use the lessons from sports to connect with others. And not just to sports fans, but to everyone who wants to be better. A better leader. A better teammate. A better workplace. Even just to have fun at work again.

Those 5 lessons from that game almost a year ago impacted so many people. It also gave me the boost of confidence I needed to recognize that my view from the sideline watching teams and athletes for so many years created a specific eye for "The Moment."

• Moments that change a game.
• Moments that demonstrate the rise or fall of a team.
• Human moments. Relationship moments.
• The moments that teach lessons far beyond the field.

Now, after about a year delay, I am bringing those lessons and moments to you every week.

Full disclosure: It won’t be perfect. You will probably find at least one spelling or grammar error (consider it an Easter egg). But it will be me. And how fitting that I get to kick it off this week. The week of this year's "Big Game."

The Tuesday Promise

I don’t promise to change your life. That isn't the goal. The goal is that when this hits your inbox on Tuesday, you actually want to open it.

Here is what you can expect every week:

• The 5-Minute Rule: It will always be a quick read.
• The 1-3-1 Framework: One Mindset Shift, three Actionable Tactics, and one Sideline Story from the world of sports to drive the point home.
• Some fun: You will laugh. Maybe not a full LOL, but at least a smirk.
• The "Aha" Moment: Enough insight to make you think, "Hmm... I never thought about it that way."

I look forward to this journey of growth for you and your team. It certainly will be one for me, too.
