Our latest episode is a special one. Mackey shares a curriculum lesson with us, Family Name.

Mackey shares how our lives are touched by several different traditions, which can come from our family, our community, our school, and our team.

As athletes, coaches, and parents, we have a responsibility to uphold these traditions, but also to enhance them. Tradition doesn't determine what we do. What we do determines our tradition.

Mackey also shares that the traditions that we inherit don't define what we will become. They can serve as guides for the path we can follow if we choose, but the only thing that determines the traditions we pass on, the legacy we leave behind, is what we do today.

Key takeaways from this podcast:

• Continually communicate traditions and expectations you have for each athlete
• Leader's responsibility does not stop at helping the current athletes, but it is their job to start paving the way for future athletes as well
• Appreciate the traditions each player brings to the team and program as a whole
