This summer I'm releasing bonus episodes of The Take Home. No new lectures on leadership, instead I'm sharing the amazing podcasts created by the students in my Leadership for Sport Professionals class.

Today's bonus episode features "Tiger Talks" produced and created by Caleb Harmel, Lucy Hansen, and Jen Tierney. In the podcast, they interview Nick Cornell (@CampoStrength), a coach and teacher at Campo Verde High School in Gilbert, AZ. During his time as a teacher and coach, Nick has been named the Arizonia Health and Physical Education Teacher of the Year, the Campo Verde High School Teacher of the Year, and the 2019 National High School Strength Coaches Association Arizona High School Strength Coach Of The Year

Coach Cornell says that to be a great organization, the focus must be on hiring the right people and that "relationships are key." He's high energy and his positivity shines through. I love how he describes that great leaders pour into their followers and why people need to feel cared about. Coach Cornell believes that a leader's job is to create other leaders and they do that by helping followers enhance their self-efficacy.

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did! Let me know what you think; reach out on LinkedIn or at @TingleJK on Twitter.
