Season 2 - Episode 4 In this episode of The Hat Rack, we chat with Dr. Robin Mackin—a Western University alumna, pediatrician, and former member of Canada’s 2008 Olympic softball team. Dr. Mackin reveals how her high-performance sports background introduced her to the power of coaching, and why she believes a similar approach can transform medical education and practice. Together with host Dr. Bill McCauley, they explore the differences between coaching and traditional feedback, the importance of cultivating a “growth mindset,” and how supportive networks can bolster both individual well-being and team performance.
