Description

In this episode of The Daily Coach: Sports Leadership Lessons, we revisit Admiral William McRaven’s story of the Navy SEAL “Munchkin Crew,” a group that consistently outperformed larger and stronger competitors. Their edge was not size or resources, but effort, discipline, and an unwavering commitment to the mission. The lesson is clear for leaders operating with fewer advantages. You may not control the conditions, but you always control your mindset, preparation, and resolve.
