🎙️ Deep Dive Drive – Episode 15: Taking Ownership
In this episode of Deep Dive Drive, recorded on my morning commute, I reflect on a powerful lesson from our recent VAR competition — and what it taught me about taking ownership.
For this tournament, I made a conscious decision as a coach and manager to step back.
Less instruction. Less intervention. More trust.
What followed was one of the smoothest tournament runs we’ve had.
In this episode, I talk about:
- Why stepping aside doesn’t mean stepping away
- How allowing players to lead builds confidence, accountability, and belief
- The difference between control and trust
- Why ownership creates better decision-making under pressure
- How success as a coach isn’t always about being the loudest voice
This episode challenges the idea that coaches must always be in the middle of everything to feel successful. Sometimes, the biggest sign of progress is when players take responsibility for standards, communication, and problem-solving themselves.
If you’re a coach, leader, or manager, this episode is a reminder that real development happens when ownership is shared — and that sometimes, the best thing you can do is get out of the way.
Trust the process. Empower your players.
One drive at a time.
