Successful leadership requires us to be effective at extending empathy AND maintaining accountability. Finding the right balance is not easy. JP and Nate discuss the challenges of operating with empathy while holding players accountable. The ultimate goal is to connect with players while safeguarding your standards. In the first half of our conversation we focus on what happens when empathy lacks and how to relate to our athletes' circumstances without compromising our standards.

√ Accountability without empathy leads to resentment

√ Empathy without accountability undermines resiliency

√ Seek to relate without relinquishing standards
