Do you ever marvel at high-level, championship teams in sports and wonder what goes into creating such a powerful group of performance-driven athletes?

There are so many parallels between sports and business, so it makes sense that a lot of the fundamental aspects of building championship teams can cross over into building a powerful team for your company.

Kent Masson is the Head Wrestling Coach at Teurlings Catholic High School, winning 12 of their last State Championship appearances (with the remaining three years being State Runners-up).

Kent knows all about bringing out the best in his team members and uniting them under one mission, as he describes in this episode of the 'Lead. Grow. Live.' Podcast.

There are so many crossovers between leading a sports team to becoming champions and growing a company's team to reach business goals, so this episode is stacked with lessons, insights, and wisdom backed by decades of experience in leadership.
