Reid McFadden explains how he uses the 4 Es of impact and influence to relate and connect to students and equip them for lives outside of the school. Reid discusses the 4 Es, starting with:
- Engaging your athletes by establishing a healthy connection.
- Experience provides a safe, positive, and trusting environment.
- Equip focuses on the students being healthy competitors, having empathy, being their authentic selves, valuing relationships, and being teachable.
- Empower means wanting the students to be confident in the tools they have learned and are starting to use by showing up, trying, and being willing to fail.
