Then I’m joined by former Pro Football Hall of Fame Board member James Allen, who shares expert insight on leadership, team chemistry, and what separates good teams from championship teams. We explore the parallels between football and golf, including player-caddie relationships, trust under pressure, and lessons from legends like Tom Watson and Gary Player.
