Leading with Values | Part 2 with Liam Hughes

Building Psychological Safety in Youth Sport – Lessons for Future Leaders

What does coaching children’s football have to do with executive leadership?

As it turns out, everything.

In Part 2 of our conversation with Liam Hughes (Director of Football, Azul FC), we explore how sport can teach the behaviours that define high-performing leaders:

✔️ Embracing failure

✔️ Taking smart risks

✔️ Regulating emotions

✔️ Reflecting with honesty

✔️ Building resilience

At ecap, we believe psychological safety isn’t just a leadership trend, it’s the foundation for long-term performance. And that starts early.

Whether you’re a coach, a parent, or a C-suite executive, this episode will challenge how you think about growth, accountability, and the environments we create for others to succeed.
