It’s the most valuable thing I have done since working with pro athletes.
My career has flourished because of this one choice.

“Do not get close with your athletes”
“You shouldn’t get meals with them”
“Keep your personal life private”
“Set the tone that you and you alone are in charge”
Worst “advice” I’ve ever been given.

So here are some rules I live by
1. Break bread with the people you work with
2. Go on walks for increased communication
3. Learn your habitat and find where people gather
