@deanleakcoach: Take a bow Arielle Houlihan 👏👏 A wonderful role model for coaches, parents and teachers with this approach. What I share is always context dependent but I love this. Clear, empathetic, direct, compassionate. It’s the coach you want in your corner. You know she’s got your back. Even the eye contact, the attention. Her ambience is infectious. Love to see it. Setting boundaries is an act of care. Sometimes, it’s easy to walk past seemingly small things. But it doesn’t have to be hard if we approach with grace, and growth at its heart. P.s sorry if I pronounced your name wrong! #sportscoach #parenting #teacher #feedback #parentlife
