Breathe.</p> <p>Max tells Hugh, Ryan and Josh about a courageous comment made by one of the players in a team meeting that addressed the negative way players were speaking to each other. The comment cut deep - not only for Max who felt shame for his own behaviour, but one that lead to greater connection, trust and respect between the players, and ultimately to their lifelong dream of an AFL Premiership (the greatest, most joyous day for their fans).</p> <p>Once again… breathe, Ryan.</p> <p>For more information on Active-Constructive Communication, start here… [<a href="https://positivepsychology.com/active-constructive-communication/%5D(https://positivepsychology.com/active-constructive-communication/)">https://positivepsychology.com/active-constructive-communication/](https://positivepsychology.com/active-constructive-communication/)</a></p> <p> </p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
