Vulnerability is more than a buzzword. It’s a moment of connection, even in what seems mundane: how we greet the kids.

While coaching my daughter's basketball team, I made it a point to greet each player with focused attention: eye level, a genuine "What's up, champ?" In those ten seconds, I suspended our worlds, offering complete presence.

That's vulnerability. It's not hiding; it's connecting in the moment. And it fosters a family-style energy, felt by everyone on the team... even extending to the players' families themselves. It's that powerful. #Vulnerability #Connection #Leadership #YouthSports
