All the stuff Mitch Henderson has figured out on the job—as a Division 1 basketball coach—has made him a better dad to his three school-age children. He shares his tips  for connecting with his tech-native Gen Z players  (spoiler alert: it takes more work) and talks about the value in meeting both his players and his kids where they are, not where he thinks they should be. Of course, we also ask him how he approaches sports for his own children, being a college coach and former superstar athlete himself. What he said surprised and inspired us! 


In This Episode:

👉 The parallels between coaching and parenting.

👉 How a college coach thinks about sports for his own children.

👉 The life-changing power of meditation. 

👉 Leadership is about connection more than authority.
