We're back after a bit of a break. The last couple weeks we've been busy with Summit planning and tryouts. Thanks to all who came out to brave the snow and deal with schedule changes. The vibes were electric.

Question for the listeners - would you be interested in doing individual or small group lessons? Anyone in Colorado want to set something up? Anyone else around the world?

Mamabird also kicked off their season at President's Day Invite. The old heads had a ton of fun supporting them on the live streams. It's a treat to be able to support such a great group of lads.

We had so much fun watching the Birdies, we decided to try streaming Smoky Mountain Invite (pending Charlie's approval).

We're still on a short break from the Chalk Talk series. Today we welcome Ari Nelson back on to give an update on their mental health. Ari educates us about trauma-informed leadership and gives great perspective on giving and receiving feedback. We discuss the value of communication, being transparent, defining channels of communication for team members, and the importance of forgiveness.

Team building and relationships can be complex. We like to break things down into simple, black and white situations with a right or wrong outcome. Ari challenges us to look at those moments through a different lens and embrace conflict when it's needed for growth and understanding. We often say that we need to be comfortable being uncomfortable. In Ari's words, "Conflict is beautiful."

In part 2 of our Chalk Talk series, 2023 AUDL Coach of the Year, Bryce Merrill joins us to overview his philosophy of teaching and developing common language for efficient communication. We were pleasantly surprised to learn that Coach also learned a lot from Bob Krier. Coach Merrill does an amazing job of giving tools to his players to solve problems on their own. He details the importance of focusing on the fundamental parts of the game that occur countless times every single point vs strategies that may occur a handful of times a game. Coach is an incredibly humble and thoughtful family man.
