Leading Through Curiosity and Asking Better Questions with Nate Leslie

“'Because I said so' as a coach shouldn’t be good enough. We should be able to answer 'Why?' and if we can’t, it’s because we’re unprepared.”    While hockey has long been his background, playing 4 years of Junior and professional seasons across Europe, Nate Leslie is renowned for his passion for coaching and his West Coast Hockey Prep Camp. Nate joins us to talk about the integration between coaching and educating, as well as two of the four sources of motivation: Mastery and Service. Nate supports these two intrinsic motivations as being far more sustainable than ego-boosters and encourages kids to love the pure joy of improvement.
