In this episode of Deep Dive Drive, recorded on my morning commute, I ask a question that every coach should reflect on:

Are you coaching from ego… or from impact?

It’s easy in this profession to get caught up in the buzz — the badge, the title, the attention, the control. But coaching isn’t about us. It’s about the players in front of us.

In this episode, I talk about:

• The difference between coaching for recognition and coaching for development
• Why ego can quietly creep into leadership
• How putting yourself first limits player growth
• The importance of keeping kids and players at the centre of every decision
• Why real impact is often quiet, unseen, and long-term

This episode isn’t about criticising coaches — it’s about encouraging honest self-reflection.

Are your decisions serving your image… or their improvement?

Are you chasing credit… or creating growth?

The best coaches aren’t driven by applause. They’re driven by progress.

If you’re in a leadership role, this episode will challenge you to check your motives and refocus on what really matters.

Players first. Always.

One drive at a time.
