Beyond Coaching: A Conversation with Mitch Hull

In this podcast episode, Mitch Hull discusses the importance of transforming the heart of a bully to help them become a hero. As a coach, Hull emphasizes the need to go beyond simply stopping negative behavior and instead focus on changing a person’s character. By building relationships and understanding the underlying reasons for a bully’s behavior, coaches can guide them to use their power for good. Hull also touches on the challenges of coaching at different levels, from high school athletes to Olympians, and the common mistakes coaches make when dealing with heart issues. He stresses the significance of intentional coaching, celebrating the process rather than just the outcome, and the role of parents as assets rather than liabilities in a team’s success.
