Ali Fucio PodcastEp. 2 - My Coaching PhilosophiesIn this episode, I talk about how I personally perceive how a coach should operate their own craft, rooted of course from my own personal experience.
Also, huge disclaimer, I’m super relaxed in this episode so do forgive the multiple times I go off track and the moments that my lack of vocabulary is exposed.
But anyway, to all the coaches out there, I hope that there was something in this episode that helped you in your own development as a coach.2020-06-1533 min
