As coaches, we love our meticulously crafted plans. But what happens when reality throws a curveball?

This clip shares the brilliant example of the classic ice rink scene in Rocky. Originally planned with hundreds of extras, budget constraints forced a pivot. The result? A far more intimate and powerful moment filmed in an empty rink.

This isn't just movie magic—it's a powerful lesson for leaders. The most impactful coaching moments often aren't from your perfectly laid plans, but from your ability to adapt and innovate when the unexpected hits.

Embrace adaptability. Be present, be courageous enough to let go of the rigid plan, and be creative enough to find a new, often better, path forward. That's where true coaching magic happens!
