Michael Cheika, the renowned rugby coach who was recently appointed Head Coach of the Lebanon men’s rugby league team, explains that providing a safe environment for athletes is a good starting point when addressing social issues.<\/h4>\n

“One of the huge things with coaching and leading is creating a balanced environment for players to perform in,” he tells co-hosts Matthew Stone and Steve Gera. “Not ignoring anything and not going over the top; understanding exactly where the balance is.”<\/p>\n

The management of social issues for the greater good of the team is just one of the questions posed on this edition of At Home With Leaders<\/em>, which is brought to you by our Main Partners Keiser.<\/p>\n
