We want to give a special thanks to the authors who did the research for the topic of this episode, Defining Success Through Goal Orientation. To further understand how Mastery and Performance Goal orientations can affect the psychology of an athlete, please click on the links below. This episode highlights how both coaches and athletes can achieve and define success in separate ways. Coach Joe and Andy talk about two coaching legends, John Wooden and Vince Lombardi. We look at how the two created their own ways of bringing success to their teams, in two different styles.
