Ryan's book, Wounds
Ryan's podcast, Authentic Conversations
The true power of sports is not the exhilaration of success, but the learning, growing, and confidence that come from overcoming the obstacles that stand in our way. Today, I'm excited to share a conversation I had with Ryan Miller, a sales and life coach who knows the lessons of failure deeply.
Ryan and I delve into how sports can teach us to handle life's challenges and overcome our obstacles. We're not just talking about physical obstacles, but emotional and mental ones too. Drawing on the wisdom of Ryan Holiday's book, The Obstacle is The Way, we explore how comfort and wealth can sometimes lead us into a false sense of security, and how we can equip ourselves with the tools to tackle life's difficulties head-on. Ryan also shares an inspiring story of a man who, despite his success, struggled with decision-making and feelings of failure, and how he managed to turn his life around.
But it's not just about us adults. We also discuss how to prepare our children to face the challenges they will encounter in youth sports and beyond. We explore how to equip them with the necessary mental, emotional, and relational tools, and how to empower them to make their own decisions. Ryan shares his personal journey of overcoming adversity and finding his purpose. He also emphasizes the importance of community and sharing personal stories, and how these can motivate and uplift others. So join us, as we dive into the world of sports, personal growth, and life's trials and tribulations. This is a conversation you don't want to miss.
