Description

 What do you do when the season’s tough, leadership feels lonely, and you’re tempted to pull back? Coach Steve shares how to stay grounded in service when the pressure’s on — because that’s when leadership matters most.

Today’s Action Step: 

• When adversity hits, pause and ask: “What does my team need from me right now?”
• Replace self-pity with selfless action — a word of encouragement, a hard rep, a calm voice.
• Reflect after every challenge: “Did I serve or shrink today?”
