Corbin Smith: More Than The Scoreboard
In this episode of Alignment First, Mycal sits down with Corbin Smith, a 30-year coaching veteran, founder of MTTS Sports Group, author of More Than the Scoreboard, and host of the More Than the Scoreboard podcast.
Corbin shares the raw reality of transitioning from athlete to coach, navigating loyalty in the coaching profession, and why self-leadership is the foundation of every great team, family, and organization. From locker-room lessons to parenting adult children, this conversation is a masterclass in integrity, accountability, and alignment.
Key Takeaways
Why self-leadership is the non-negotiable foundation of all leadership
The difference between loyalty and alignment in modern coaching and business
How peer leadership creates more leaders—not followers
Why honesty without tact fails, and tact without honesty is manipulation
How great leaders zoom in and out without losing their North Star
