2024: Reflection and Contemplation by Anthony Donskov
About this episode
What were the biggest lessons I learned over the past year? Today's episode is a reflection and contemplation of 2024. It's now the second year of the HPH podcast, so let's take the opportunity to look back on what has been a year full of growth – both personally and professionally. I share my favorite nuggets of wisdom from previous guests of the podcast, including some of the most impactful quotes that have stuck with me. I also highlight practical advice for coaches, young or seasoned, who are looking to grow the game in 2025 and beyond.
