#4 - David Wessels on Coaching Pro Sport: Stay a Humble Student of the Game

David Wessels is the head coach of the Australian professional rugby team the Melbourne Rebels. He took over the team in 2018, a team that finished dead last in the Super Rugby Championship the year before. In his first season, Dave turned them into play-off contenders, only narrowly missing the play-offs in his next two seasons. In this episode we talk about the key ingredients to being a successful professional sports coach. We uncover the secret to acquire a permission-less apprenticeship and how valuable it is to surround yourself with people to constantly learn from. We find that a focus on humility and learning can open up doors to your career success. Please enjoy! Are you an expert?
