Leading from the Inside Out: How Sam Mitchell Brings Out the Best in His Players

In Part 2 of my conversation with Sam Mitchell, we move from his playing career into his evolution as a coach. Sam shares how great coaching starts with understanding people — meeting each player where they are, recognising their individuality, and knowing which “levers” help them grow.

He talks about building confidence, creating clarity, navigating feedback, and developing athletes on both the physical and mental side of performance. Sam’s approach reveals what truly separates a good coach from a great one, and how the same principles apply far beyond sport.

Whether you’re a leader, a coach, or someone who wants to help others reach their potential, this episode is full of practical, grounded wisdom from one of the game’s sharpest minds.
