About this episode
This week on the podcast, John and Jerry discuss Jerry's brand new book Lead with Love. This book is the culmination of Jerry's multiple decades working with National, Olympic and World Champion athletes and coaches, synthesizing his ideas about leadership, culture building, and building championship programs by winning the relationship game. As 9x NBA Champion player and coach Steve Kerr of the Golden State Warriors says, "Jerry has put together another amazing piece of work that contributes to and captures perfectly the coaching revolution that is blossoming in the sports world today. Here is an extraordinary guide to help coaches at all levels understand how to build relationships and winning teams and to achieve success through an intentional, connective, caring, compassionate, inspirational, joyful, and loving approach." Take a listen as we discuss how the book came about, some of the major takeaways from it, and how you can implement these coaching strategies with your teams.
