Raw conversations with sports legends about wild ambition and fierce compassion

Mark Sorenson won two world championships by the age of
seventeen. But at twenty, despite playing the best tournament of
his life, his team lost the final. That heartbreak led to an
insight: it doesn’t matter how spectacular you are if you can’t
make the people around you better as well.

Mark is one of only two New Zealanders to win world softball
titles as both a player and a coach — four golds with the Black
Sox, including the only three-peat in the history of the men's
game, then World Coach of the Year after taking them back to gold
in 2017.

This conversation is almost none of that. It's about what
happened in between: the years he tried to lift his team by
policing them, and the shift that finally made them follow.

We talk:

- The difference between having the title and having people
follow you

- Why Mark told his own daughter she would never win a trophy
while he was coaching

- How to hold high standards without humiliating anyone

- Being liked versus respected

- The honesty gap between team spirit and high performance
culture

- Why rules without reason carry less weight

- When delegating a hard conversation is the strongest thing a
leader can do
