Your high school science teacher and your basketball coach may have had way more in common than you might have realized.

It will also detail how "coaching helps create positive new neural pathways, which leads to lasting, sustainable change." On the flipside, it will also reveal how neuroscience can augment coaching in order to make brains more "open to learning, visioning, sophisticated thinking, emotional intelligence, empathy, creativity, and growth."
