“Each day, I noticed Coach sent us off with a positive comment. “It’s a great day to work together toward our goals,” he’d say after we’d gathered for the workout. On a particularly windy day, it would be: “What a great day to challenge and shape our perseverance.” Sometimes his words were simple—“Okay, let’s go”—and it was his upbeat, let’s-get-it-done inflection that set the tone for the workout.”
