Great teams aren’t built on talent alone; they thrive on humility, growth, and the ability to embrace correction. Whether feedback comes from a coach, a teammate, or a moment of spiritual insight, it’s a gift rather than a personal attack. Correction is a sign that someone believes in your potential and wants to see you rise. So, don’t resist it. Receive it, grow from it, and press forward. Champions aren’t perfect; they’re teachable.

They discuss their athletic journeys, the lessons they’ve learned from diverse coaching styles, and how Christ-centered leadership—marked by clarity, humility, and role awareness—is essential to building strong teams.
