Hollywood's Coaching Playbook

Hollywood has spent decades showing us what coaching looks like. But how much of it is actually great? Armond and Alecia break down movie coaches - Mr. Miyagi, Coach Carter, Ted Lasso, Herman Boone - using the healing-centered sport framework to separate what works from what causes harm. They debate whether tough love builds character or breaks kids, why redemption arcs work on screen but fail real athletes, and why Hollywood still can't write a pitch around a female, healing-centered coach. Come on now. Plus: Hot Takes on inspiring speeches, coaching from unhealed trauma, and whether vulnerability precedes trust.
