Open-sourced conversations between Drew Carlson and Mikhail Bryan.
The Level 1 Coach hits home at a principle most commonly avoided:
Examine what is being said not who is saying it.
The Level 1 Coach lacks a credibility stamp at the beginning of their journey.
Neither of us played 20 years of professional hockey.
Neither of us has coached at the 'highest level'
In our industry, that means you're 'nobody'...
We intend to prove this common assumption false by providing massive value and helping other Level 1 Coaches by sharing our platform with them.
