Listen "Podcast Short- Competence, Care, and Constant"
Episode Synopsis
In this short episode, Rob and Dustin revisit the foundational framework that launched the Impactful Coaching Project: The Three C’s—Competence, Care, and Constant. Originally introduced in an early Substack post, these three traits remain core to how they think about leadership, coaching, and building trust.Whether you're a new coach trying to build credibility or a seasoned one navigating the emotional rollercoaster of the season, this episode digs into the real meaning of each "C" and what it looks like to live it out—not just talk about it.Topics CoveredWhy competence today is as much about filtering noise as it is about knowledgeHow care becomes transformational only when it's planned, consistent, and intentionalThe role of constant in high-emotion moments and how it builds lasting trustWhy the best coaches do hard things the right way even when it hurtsSimple, practical systems you can implement now to care for your playersKey Quotes“Competence gets you the job. Systems of care and constant keep you there.” “You can’t fake care. And you can’t react well in chaos unless you’ve trained yourself to.” “Being great at one of the C’s is not enough. The challenge is integrating all three.”Mentioned in the EpisodeTim Elmore’s thoughts on authenticity and competencePost-game systems of care (90-second rule, locker room walks, gratitude in weight room)The power of handwritten notes, one-on-ones, and consistent body languageSubscribe & Learn More ▶ Get full access to all articles, podcasts, and resources at impactfulcoachingproject.substack.com
