In this episode, we dive into the role emotional intelligence plays in an athlete’s ability to grow—not just physically or tactically, but internally. We share the story of a player navigating the challenge of not speaking English fluently, and how his willingness to make mistakes out loud is actually what accelerates his growth. From there, we explore the deeper principle of forgiveness: how the ability to forgive yourself, your teammates, and your coaches becomes a competitive edge. Forgiveness frees you to be more present, more courageous, and ultimately, more unstoppable. We also reflect on how much we wish we had understood these ideas when we were athletes ourselves.
