What this episode is about
→Why players plateau after 6 to 9 months, and how bad habits lock in
→How great coaches diagnose the real link in the chain, not just the final mistake
→Sandy’s philosophy on hybrid coaching, online education plus on court training

Who this helps
→Padel players who feel stuck and want a real unlock, not generic tips
→Coaches and clubs who want frameworks, SOPs, and better coach education

Key takeaways
→The best students have a growth mindset and take 2 to 3 ideas into real practice.
→“Feel vs real” is why video feedback speeds up breakthroughs.
→Most players improve early, then hit a frustration plateau without coaching.
→Breaking bad habits is hard, but it creates the biggest jumps in performance.
→Good coaching starts earlier in the chain, footwork, prep, timing, then contact.
→Group coaching builds community AND teaches tactics you can’t do 1 on 1.
→Misinformation spreads fast when players coach each other without a framework.
→Consistency wins, weekly content compounds trust over years.
→The fastest way to change systems is to fix the trunk, not blame a single leaf.
→Hybrid coaching will scale clubs faster, but only if coaches are trained well.

Quotables
→“Remember the name, remember the name.”
→“Feel versus real.”
→“We’ve gotta go right to the trunk of the tree.”
→“You’ve gotta be in it for the long run.”

Practical tools and frameworks
→Use video to show the exact moment the habit breaks, then rebuild the chain.
→Coach with 2 to 3 priorities per session, not 25 tips.
→Diagnose the earliest link that drives the error, timing, prep, footwork, not the finish.
→Build SOPs at each level so quality scales across coaches and locations.
→Pair online learning with on court reps so players and coaches improve faster.

What this episode is about
→Why kids feel like every mistake can go viral now
→How to prep kids before the phone and before social media shows up
→The Phone Readiness Challenge and the 4 pillars it measures

Who this helps
→Parents who feel behind and pressured because “everyone else has a phone”
→Educators and coaches who want practical tools for healthier tech habits

Key takeaways
→Once a phone is handed over, it’s hard to take it back.
→Parents need a path that builds buy in, not constant enforcement.
→Readiness beats age, “I’m 13” is not a plan.
→Responsibility matters because phones amplify existing habits.
→Emotional maturity matters because “left out” and “told no” are daily triggers online.
→Tech awareness matters because platforms are engineered to keep kids scrolling.
→Character matters because most of the real decisions happen when no one is watching.
→Parental controls can create a never ending policing job for parents.
→Kids respond differently to coaching from someone who is not their parent.
→Repetition wins, you have to keep saying the message until it finally lands.

Quotables
→“Do it messy, do it afraid. Just do it.”
→“Your eyeballs are the price of it.”
→“Kids want and need boundaries.”
→“If you give your kid a phone, they will find hours of time to be on the phone.”
→“Keep your kids away from tech as long as possible.”

Practical tools and frameworks
→Run a Phone Readiness Challenge with the child and the parent taking the same quiz.
→Use the 4 pillars: responsibility, emotional maturity, tech awareness, character.
→Make the phone the “carrot,” complete the prep first, then earn the device.
→Build a “go out to eat bag” so boredom doesn’t become an iPad habit.
→Have the “why” conversations early, before the pressure moments happen at friends’ houses.

What this episode is about

→Why leadership programs fail when nobody can explain the “why”

→How to choose the right “how,” coaching vs training vs accountability

→Tina’s new book, Developing Your Business Leaders: A Guide to Investing At All Levels, and the framework behind it

Who this helps

→Coaches, HR leaders, and talent teams who want leadership investment to stick

→Founders and managers who are tired of programs that change nothing

Key takeaways

→Most leadership initiatives die because they start with the how.

→If you can’t explain the business why, people will treat it like fluff.

→Coaching is powerful, AND it’s the wrong tool for a lot of problems.

→If a whole group has the same gap, training usually beats 1:1 coaching.

→Some “coaching needs” are performance issues wearing a coaching costume.

→The best work starts with what now, not what next.

→Giving someone permission to pause can be the breakthrough.

→A good coach adapts to the human, not the other way around.

→Rigid processes create compliant clients, not changed behavior.

→Ownership and accountability are coachable, but they need modeling too.

Quotables

→“Write when you feel it, keep writing until there isn’t.”

→“You helped me focus on what now.”

→“We skip to the how, and then nothing sticks.”

→“Coaches must have coaches.”

Practical tools and frameworks

→Start with Why, then What, then Who, then choose the How.

→Ask “Is this a coaching problem, or an accountability problem?”

→If you’re in transition, pause the merry-go-round before picking “what next.”

→Define the behaviors you want changed before you buy a program.

What this episode is about

→Why “1 sentence branding” breaks for people who live multi-threaded lives

→What makes someone coachable, especially under pressure and pain

→How to lead, coach, and build systems when your life is full

Who this helps

→Business owners who love the business AND feel trapped by it

→Leaders, coaches, and parents who want to develop people with clarity and backbone

Key takeaways

→Jared doesn’t try to shrink his identity to sound clean online, he owns the complexity.

→Coachability shows up fast in humility, not in “I know everything” energy.

→Pain can crack people open in a good way, it creates the willingness to learn.

→A coach who’s been in the mud can warn you about the emotional toll of change.

→Change is rarely the problem, the transition is where people melt down.

→Great coaching starts with expectations, before anything gets hard.

→Accountability works better with deadlines and clear follow-up, not hand-holding.

→Praise the behaviors you want repeated, then you get more of them.

→Sometimes the best “coach” is a peer group that makes you feel less alone.

→A coach who is light-years ahead can expand what you believe is possible, then pull you back to the next tiny step.

Quotables

→“I don’t think I can introduce myself briefly.”

→“I am too many.”

→“If there is something that gets a hold of me that I want to know more of, just do not stand in my way.”

→“Change doesn’t kill the business, it’s the transition.”

→“True coaching, I believe, is transferring your passion.”

→“Send me a DM that says Freedom.”

Practical tools and frameworks

→Set expectations up front, so you have a clear standard to coach back to later.

→2-week coaching cadence with 2 to 3 homework items, plus a real accountability deadline.

→Use personality lenses like DISC or Color Code to tailor how you coach each person.

→Reverse-engineer growth with: “What has to be true for this to happen?”

→Freedom assessment: DM Jared “Freedom” to get his survey on how much the business owns you.

In this episode, holistic energy practitioner Candice Van Dertholen shares how grounded energy work helps entrepreneurs reconnect with themselves, clear old patterns, and build the capacity for real growth.

We talk about identity, embodied confidence, breaking cycles, and the truth about why some people stay stuck even when they are doing all the “right” things.

What this episode is about
→ Understanding energy work without the overwhelm or woo

→ Why high achieving people lose their inner connection

→ How clarity and grounded awareness shift everything

→ Using energy practices to reduce burnout and rebuild presence

Who this helps
→ Entrepreneurs and practitioners who feel disconnected or stuck

→ Coaches who want to understand how energy impacts client results

Key takeaways
→ Most people are disconnected from themselves long before they feel stuck.

→ Energy work is not about performance, it is about clarity and identity.

→ Your patterns repeat until you finally look at them.

→ Inner work increases your ability to hold clients, money, and visibility.

→ When you embody who you are, the right people find you.

→ Confidence grows from consistency, not overnight breakthroughs.

→ You cannot fake grounded energy.

→ Success does not arrive until your nervous system can hold it.

→ Clarity comes from doing the deeper work, not skipping around it.

→ You attract clients at the level of your own alignment.

Quotables

→ “Embodiment is the real confidence.”

→ “Your business has its own energy and its own signature.”
