Yesterday I spent a very productive time with my friend Heather. Heather is one of the top volleyball coaches in the state of Minnesota at the elite junior olympic level. We are in conversation about a new project and venture surrounding coaching, Gallup StrengthsFinder, writing, and more.
We are working on a small article on how we have used the Gallup StrengthsFinder in coaching and player development in the past year. This small article may lead to a larger article on coaching with a strengths-based philosophy later this year after taking more teams through the process of Discovering Their Strengths and implementing their increased self-awareness into their team work and play on the court. This article could lead to, dare I say it, a book? Who knows, but I am excited to start working on this project.
More updates as they come along.

That’s awesome! It would be great to get more coaches using StrengthsFinder! I know when Mosaic did a “Launch” (now called Yelo) and LMU there was a great response from the student athletes. It’ll be interesting to see what comes of your project!
