This week, Sports Leadership Podcast co-host Kevin DeShazo releases his fantastic new book, Keep Chopping Wood.
We dive into the book in Episode 38 and discuss everything from the genesis of the book, its writing and publishing, and the initial feedback he’s received. It all started with this Tweet in January, which resonated more than Kevin could have imagined.
The book chronicles a young athlete, who learns an important message from his grandfather that proves to be "An ordinary approach to achieving extraordinary success".
You don’t chop wood because you need it today. You chop it today so you have it when you need a fire tomorrow.

Your team will face adversity. Do the work today to build relational trust and culture so when adversity hits, you can overcome.
Make sure you have wood for the fire.
