Text me your thoughts! Being a beginner isn’t easy—it’s humbling, messy, and sometimes frustrating. But it’s also one of the most rewarding experiences we can have. In this episode, I share my personal goal of learning to juggle a soccer ball and reaching 100 juggles in a row by the end of the year. Along the way, I’ve gained a deeper appreciation for what beginners go through: the mental toughness to push past frustration, the courage to not compare myself to others, and the power of small, consistent efforts. Whether you’re thinking about starting something new or just need a reminder that it’s okay to struggle, this episode will inspire you to embrace the beginner’s mindset and discover the magic of starting fresh.

Inspiration from Emma Hayes 10:39

Text me your thoughts! At the United Soccer Coaches Convention, Emma Hayes, the newly appointed Head Coach of the U.S. Women’s National Team, delivered a powerful session on high-performance leadership, team culture, and preparing the USWNT for Olympic gold in just 76 days. In this episode of Becoming My Stronger Me , I break down the three key insights from her talk that resonated with me the most: "Performance = Potential - Interference" – How eliminating distractions unlocks true potential. "If it isn’t broken, break it. Comfort is the death of teams." – Why growth requires challenging success, not just failure. Her vision: "Create a world where the female lens is at the heart of what we do." – A challenge to coaches, parents, and leaders to rethink how we develop athletes. Hayes’ insights push us to re-evaluate how we lead, coach, and support athletes at every level. Are we removing interferences or creating them? Are we evolving, or are we staying comfortable? And are we truly serving our athletes, or are we forcing them to conform to outdated systems?
