Lead with Love

Dr. Levi Nelson's Coaching Philosophy

In this episode of Beyond Coaching, Dr. Levi Nelson discusses his journey into coaching and explains his LEAD philosophy: Love, Effort, Attitude, and Discipline. He argues that caring for athletes not only develops their character but also translates into better performance and more wins. He emphasizes that coaches can and should balance character development with a desire to win, advocating for an environment where athletes feel intrinsically motivated through meaningful relationships.
