Coaches Corner Episode 4 | The Pressure | Coach Tom Herman & Chris Pitre

Coaches Corner is a Softway original series featuring honest, unscripted conversations about leadership and what it means to lead with love. What does it really mean to perform under pressure? Most of us think pressure reveals whether someone can remain calm, confident, and composed when the stakes are high. But Coach Tom Herman offers a different way to understand it—one that changes how we think about performance, preparation, and leadership. In this conversation, Coach Herman and Chris Pitre (VP at Softway and Co-Author of the best-selling 'Love as a Strategy' book series) explore what pressure can reveal about a person and the environment around them. They discuss what leaders are actually asking of their people when they tell them to perform in difficult moments, and whether those people have been given the preparation, trust, support, and clarity they need to succeed. The conversation also raises important questions about how we hire, how we evaluate talent, and how quickly we judge people when they struggle. At Softway, we believe leadership is not only about expecting people to meet a standard. It is also about creating the conditions that help them meet it. This episode challenges leaders to look beyond the moment of performance and consider everything that happened before it.
