Students Take Over: Breaking Barriers with Skye, Ava, and Darrin

This spring I'm releasing bonus episodes of The Take Home. No new
lectures on leadership, instead I'm sharing the amazing podcasts
created by the students in my Leadership for Sport Professionals
class.


Today's bonus episode features "Breaking Barriers" produced and
created by Skye O'Rourke, Ava Limonciello, and Darrin Everage. In
the podcast, they interview Brianna Taylor-Leonard. Brianna is
the Head Girl's Basketball Coach at East View High School in
Georgetown, TX and was a former standout on the University of
Texas Women's basketball team. In her senior year, Briana was
recognized as the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year and was a
four-time selection to the Academic All-Big 12 Teams. 


During the conversation Coach Taylor talks about learning from
failure, why it's important to take risks, how setbacks can serve
as springboards for the future, and she shares stories highlight
why great leaders are persistent.  She also emphasizes the
importance of authenticity and being true to yourself. This is an
enjoyable interview and filled with wisdom about inclusive and
servant leadership philosophies. 


The music for the episode, Give Me Everything, was created by
