In this week's episode, I interviewed Dr. Barry Davis, Leadership Coach and Author. We explore how emotional intelligence turns rigid control into real leadership. Dr. Davis shares stories, tools, and mistakes that shaped a steadier, clearer coaching style grounded in trust and accountability.

Episode Highlights:

• Defining emotional intelligence for coaches
• Five pillars for sustainable culture
• Self-talk, reset cues, and calm under stress
• Discipline through ownership, not punishment
• Reflection habits that build postseason readiness
