Everyone does it tough at some point in their journey. So what can we learn from those who deal with stress or pressure on a regular basis? Hosted by Paddy Steinfort, a performance coach to some of the world’s best who Sports Illustrated has called “Master Mind”, this show takes world-class performers from a range of arenas (from athletes to academics, entrepreneurs to entertainers, medicine to military) back through their journey to find their hard earned answers to a simple question: what does toughness look like in action? Initially recorded exclusively for the US Army & veterans only, the intent behind these talks was to help soldiers and families deal with stressful situations so they dont just survive but thrive. But given the challenges everyone in the broader community faces these days, the full tapes of these exclusive interviews will now be released to the public via the Toughness podcast - so we can all benefit from the toughness of those at the top.

Tough Women Make History - Jen Welter (NFL) & Justine Siegal (MLB)

Thursday Mar 11, 2021
Before both Jen Welter and Justine Siegal were hired as coaches for the Arizona Cardinals (NFL) & Oakland A's (MLB) respectively in 2015, there had been a grand total of zero female coaches in either league. While they had to endure tough times - from being spat on and tackled, to dealing with verbal abuse - they not only persevered to achieve their own dreams, but paved the way for those who followed too: 4 women were part of the Tampa Bay staff that won Super Bowl LV in 2021, and major market teams like the New York Yankees, Chicago Cubs and Boston Red Sox now boast females as part of their coaching team. In this Women's History Month special, we talk about their journeys from outsiders to part of the game, the mental strengths you must have as an outsider or minority, as well as what they learned along the way about how to forge a path when one doesn't exist yet.
