The Breath of Greatness: Tim and Steve talk about commitment and what it really takes to be great at something.

They share a story about a young football player who wants to learn from a retired coach. The boy keeps asking the coach to teach him, showing how much he really wants it. Finally, the coach agrees — but he teaches the boy in a very surprising way.
