    Dr. Matthew Raidbard part 2- Supporting players with mental health issues

    Dr. Matthew Raidbard, author of Lead Like a Pro, is back! I love having recurring guests on the show!! Matthew opens up to us about an experience he had as a coach with a player who was struggling with their mental health and how Matthew felt he failed to show up for the player in that moment. What's most beautiful about this story is Dr. Raidbard's willingness to learn and grow from this situation. He's constantly seeking ways to develop as a leader and most importantly, as a human..something we ALL can take a lesson on! Thank you Matthew and as always, thank you all for listening! -#SPEAKYOURTRUTH!

    DR. MATTHEW RAIDBARD

    Dr. Matthew Raidbard is a former Men's college basketball coach and athletic administrator, head of Raidbard Sports Leadership Consulting, and author of Lead like a Pro-which is on sale now! Dr. Raidbard shares his upbringing in the Chicagoland area (as y'all know, MY FAVORITE PLACE IN THE WORLD!!! If you haven't yet, go visit! 🍕🌭🌆), as well as how growing up in such a diverse environment prepared him to coach and work with diverse groups of people in varying communities. A coaching job in New Mexico proved to be impactful for Raidbard, as the school is located on the border of the States and Mexico, exposing him to lifestyles and upbringings he was previously unaware of. Instead of allowing the situation to intimidate him, Matthew immersed himself in the culture, community, and university. In order to be successful coaches and leaders, we must be like Dr. Raidbard: Embrace to new experiences, even when they're uncomfortable. As always, thank you for tuning in!

    NAYA TAPPER- USA Olympic Rugby star

    Naya Tapper is a USA Rugby Olympic Team member and from what I keep hearing, the best female rugby player in the world! All I know is you couldn't pay me to stand in front of Tapper on the field--coming from the person who thinks they can do anything! I really enjoyed my conversation with Naya, talking about her childhood, involvement in sports growing up, and how she got into rugby. She knew she was talented in the sport, but never imagined she'd be a superstar one day! How AMAZING is it to see women of color dominating all kinds of sports!? Especially in the Olympics! https://anchor.fm/samarie/subscribe Website: speakyourtruth.live IG: speakyourtruth_pod Twitter: syt_podcast. Connect with Naya!: IG: @nayatapper & @_nayaonfiya_
