Menfolk Journeys
This podcast explores how different men from all walks of life wear the beautiful and confusing mantle of manhood.
Men can be knuckleheads in public life. But in private, if given the right questions and if they feel comfortable, men can also be thoughtful, reflective, and have deep conversations about their lives, big questions, and meaningful ideas.
We have great conversations with men just like us and from all walks of life, so we can learn from their personal stories and all get better together.

53. Scott and Coaching Through Adversity
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
It's one thing to be a coach and help your athletes overcome challenges, injury, setbacks, and mental blocks.
It's another thing to be a coach and have to overcome your own adversity - even your own disability.
Scott was disabled in his early twenties...right when he was beginning a coaching career. He had to learn how to not just push past his challenge, but finally acknowledge his disability, and what it meant. And also, what it didn't mean.
And from there, move along with the path of life that was most authentic to him: being a coach.
Oh, and winning a few National Championships, too. :)
