Quote:   I like to take the athletes I coach right up to the point that their self confidence is so high it’s borderlining on arrogance, then bring them right back to humility  - Shayamal Vallabhjee 

Knowledge Nuggets and Take-Aways:

• A great competent coach instills comfort, confidence and consistency with their clients
• When in a slump minimize experimentation, flex your muscle of consistency ‘bankers skills’  - surround yourself with people who reinforce your banker skills. 
• Humility is the foundation of learning
• A great coach can manipulate your energy so you show up 110% when it’s time to perform 
• Every skill has a shelf life. You must tweak them as your winning. Experiment most when you have the confidence to try new things
