“The thing I’ve been really amazed with as a high school strength coach is what a family community is and how just the relationships have been built so quickly, but are amazingly strong.” 26:15
“You have two ears and one mouth so you should be listening twice as much as you’re talking.” (Advice to interns) 33:15 |
