Rugged Individuals

Last weekend, we witnessed two teams play for the Lombardi trophy in the Super Bowl. Each team has a 52-player roster, and most of the players played at least one play. They played as a team, though, working together sometimes in virtual anonymity while some of the key players received most of the attention.

You know what’s amazing, though? For the 52-man Chiefs roster, there are 30 coaches while the 49ers have 28! Each player has access to a cohort of coaches to help with everything from strength and nutrition to specifics of their position play.

This means the top players in the NFL work with coaches to improve and grow.

It has me wondering why more individuals don’t have active coaching relationships. Executives and individuals looking to grow will do it better with a guide who can provide experienced leadership coaching plus insights to help reveal the foundational habits which create blocks to success.

I think everyone who is interested in improving will do it better with a coach. What do you think?
