Thomas Williams: From the NFL to Empowering People: If You Don’t Have the Example, Find the Proof
In this episode, Rich and Thomas discuss:
- Thomas’ valuable life lessons from playing baseball as a kid
- Parenting/coaching your children the right way
- Coaching the person, not the player
- Trusting the process
- Showing up as your true self
Key Takeaways:
- The way that you show up is how people will ultimately treat you.
- Playing sports can give your child an identity. In parenting them, the goal should not be to identify the results they achieve, but the path they take to achieve them – applauding them constantly for their effort, their determination to improve, and their persistence to keep going.
- Don't just coach the player, coach the person inside the player. Find out what motivates a player to play the game – people don't care how much you know, but how much you care.
- Just because God isn't doing anything doesn't mean you're not supposed to be praying, and just because God's not doing things immediately doesn't mean that your prayers aren't being heard.
- You don't have to compare yourself with others. If you just focus on your own life and are authentic to yourself, the world will take you to where you’re meant to be.
“If you don't have an example of what it's supposed to be like, find the proof that it exists.” — Thomas Williams
