220: Love and coaching (with Jerry Lynch)

Great coaches have one thing in common that we don't talk about much: they demonstrate love in their coaching. You hear about passion, you hear about drive, and you hear about communication, but we often avoid talking about love. Dr. Jerry Lynch has spent his career working at the intersection of sports psychology, leadership, and philosophy. This is where you find many of the hidden topics like love that can be the biggest drivers of performance. On this week's GAINcast Lynch joins us to share some of his reflections on coaching, self-improvement, and Buddha.
