  In this episode of the Coach Your Best Podcast I have a conversation with Rett Larson, one of the modern day giants in the world of performance coaching.
  
  If you have never heard Rett speak you are in for a delightful suprise. DO NOT listen to this episode in your car! 
  
  Make sure you are in a quiet place with limited distractions and have a pen in hand. 
  
  In this episode we discuss:

  • How Rett overcame cultural and language barriers as an American coach working with Chinese athletes
  • The importance of being vulnerable with your players
  • Rett's approach to using a 'Stop light' coaching system with athletes
