About this Episode
Welcome back to the Flex Diet Podcast! I'm Dr. Mike T. Nelson, and in this episode, I’m joined by the brilliant Tex from CaptainsAndCoaches.com. We dive deep into the art and science of leadership and coaching—everything from how social media is shaping the coaching world to the growing role of AI, and how to sharpen your prep and execution.
Tex brings serious experience to the table, having worked with athletes and coaches at the high school, college, and even NFL level. We also talk about tools to build social awareness and better team dynamics.
