In this episode of Deep Dive Drive, recorded on my morning commute, I reflect on a simple but powerful idea — coaching isn’t always about having the answers.

There’s often a pressure on coaches to know everything, fix everything, and have a response for every situation. But great coaching isn’t about being the smartest person in the room — it’s about creating space for learning, thinking, and growth.

In this episode, I talk about:

• Why not having the answer can actually make you a better coach
• The importance of asking the right questions instead of giving constant solutions
• How allowing players to think builds understanding and ownership
• Why learning alongside your players creates stronger relationships
• How humility and honesty strengthen trust within teams

This episode challenges the idea that leadership is about control or certainty. Sometimes, the most powerful coaching moments come from listening, exploring, and figuring things out together.

If you’re a coach, teacher, or leader who wants to develop thinkers — not just followers — this episode is a reminder that curiosity often beats certainty.

Ask better questions. Create better learners.

One drive at a time.
