Sometimes, the rules and the norms are just meant to be broken so we could learn and improve. Being trapped is the last thing we want. Make drastic changes if need be.
In this episode of the Leader Manager Coach Podcast, Rob talks about iconoclastic bravery. In professional sports, some problematic culture and perceptions might be difficult to shatter. But if you stand up and make the move, then other people might see your point and get swayed. There are still things to change in our surroundings. We have to let go of our old ways and gain new perspectives.
Discover about how you can enjoy being iconoclastic when you tune in.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- An iconoclastic sees the world differently than anybody else. They understand what's better for society and so they bring change.
- There's too much pressure in playing professional football. Coaches should recognise this as to not get shaken up by this. Everyone must endure through the challenges so that they learn, improve, and win.
- Norwich City has recently given young players opportunities. They are aware of what must this entail regarding the sought-after victories since they're just about to go through a learning journey. But as long as everyone's on board, there is clear communication, and everyone wants to see them develop and grow, then they're on the right track.
- A great football player does not necessarily become a great coach. Knowledge and talent are just the start. There's so much that coaching demands. It's also an issue lately how easy it is to apply for the position.
BEST MOMENTS
- “Know what it is that you want to achieve. Know what you want it to look like.”
- “You have to play the long game. Nothing that endures, nothing that's worthwhile, nothing that has roots that will last a long time is built quickly.”
- “They need to be frank. They need to be frequent. Everyone should be kept in the picture.”
