Podcast accessible on: iTunes | Spotify | YouTube
In the second half of the conversation, McKenzie reflects on what she learned about her leadership style during her state championship-winning season. She discusses the evolution of her "best self" as a coach, moving beyond an aggressive personality to intentionally observing and adapting to her players' needs—a concept described as "coaching like a scientist". The critical moment that helped her achieve this shift was returning to the team's co-created values during a tough scrimmage. Finally, she highlights the immense value of the TOC community as a supportive, non-judgmental "safety net" for testing new coaching systems and strategies.
