In this episode, I sit down with Coach Russ, the head football coach and athletic director at East Rutherford High School. We dive into the mental side of sports and how it shapes young athletes far beyond the game. Coach Russ shares his philosophy on coaching the person before the player, emphasizing growth, resilience, and life skills over wins and losses. He explains why success on the field is always secondary to developing strong, confident individuals who can tackle life’s challenges head-on. Whether you're a coach, teacher, or parent, this conversation is packed with wisdom on fostering a mindset for success in sports and beyond.
