Chapter: Hammer-Nail-Hammer: Realizing Greatness Through Failure…
In this episode, Joy McCulloch shares about her chapter titled “Hammer–Nail–Hammer: Realizing Greatness Through Failure”. We discuss how sometimes, as hard as you try, there will be times when fate is not in your favor. How you dust yourself off and get back in it will set you up for success.
The coaching story that Joy shares highlights the highs and lows of any athlete. The duality of being a champion, and in the next breath, a ‘loser’. It’s so important to have a coach who can speak truth to you in all moments.
