Most Coaches Are Getting It WRONG – Tex McQuilkin on Leadership, Training & What Actually Works | Truth Serum with Tyler Minton | Ep.008
Description
What separates a coach from a true leader? In this eye-opening episode of Truth Serum, I sit down with Tex McQuilkin—performance expert and host of the Captains & Coaches podcast—to break down what today’s athletes actually need.
We dig into:
🏋️♂️ Why most coaches miss the mark—and how to lead with impact
🧠 The mindset shift athletes actually need
⏱️ How much time you really need to train each week (hint: it’s not what you think)
🎯 Building standards, culture, and trust in a world that avoids both
This one’s a coaching clinic—brutally honest, deeply practical, and grounded in experience.
