KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The value of mentorship and guidance in personal and professional development.
• The power of humility and the willingness to acknowledge and learn from mistakes.

BEST MOMENTS

"I think a lot of us underestimate the value that we have when we coach the younger generation that's coming up and that aspires to do that." 

"I never thought that I couldn't fly fighter jets. I had no idea how to do it. But I never really had anybody tell me, no, you can't do that definitively." 

"I think the important thing is there's the hunger there and there's action behind it. That character I was just like I don't know what I'm doing, but I know that I started college and I started taking aviation related classes and I started flying and I started just doing things that were down that track." 

"If you're a bad apple and you can't get on with people, then you're going to struggle. And if you speak to elite coaches and you say, look, as long as you've got somebody who's got an ability, it doesn't have to be the very best in the world, but if they have an ability to perform, it's the psychological aspect that will make them world-class."
