The Give – Adversity Leadership – Robert Weiner, Associate Head Coach, UConn

On this episode of The Give – A Lauren’s FIrst and Goal Podcast, Robert Weiner shares how he’s built quarterback rooms around two non-negotiables: “excellence is excellence all the time” and genuine family love, even when guys are competing for the same job. From there, he lays out the start of his six-point plan for adversity leadership. It’s a practical way to lead players when the scoreboard flips and pressure hits.

The framework he introduces: a six-thought plan for adversity leadership

  1. Keep the Faith
  2. Fight the Good Fight (and the right fight)
  3. Think Globally, Act Locally
  4. Change the Narrative
  5. Raise Each Other Up by Effort
  6. Make Some Plays
