It’s Corona-time globally and I wish all of you and your families happiness and health through these times. Robert Davis asked me half a year ago who was on the top of my Wishlist for a Podcast interview. I promptly answered Magnus Norman, and that is exactly who you guys will get to listen to in this episode.

You’ll get to know:

  • Balancing being a good listener and at the same time telling the truth
  • How Magnus keeps a match journal for Stan
  • Magnus’ thoughts on coaches longevity

Enjoy the show!
