Welcome back to The Coach Matthew Mitchell Show! In this second episode of our Risk and Reward: Mastering Challenges in Leadership series, we dive into the first step of the R.I.S.K. framework—Recognizing the Opportunity.

Coach Mitchell walks you through how emotional risk often stems from fear, discomfort, and uncertainty, especially in leadership roles. Whether you're facing confrontation, stepping outside your comfort zone, or navigating difficult decisions, the challenge often lies not in the situation itself—but in how you see it.

This week, Coach Mitchell shares a powerful mindset shift: learning to spot opportunity where others see obstacles. You'll discover three practical steps to start viewing challenges through a more empowered lens:

1. Start at YES
2. Identify available assets
3. Write a commitment letter to recognize the opportunity clearly

Packed with insight, humor, and personal stories—including his current journey as the head coach at the University of Houston—this episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to build confidence, clarity, and courage in the face of leadership risk.
