This video features Cleveland Guardians Manager Terry Francona and former Cleveland Browns Head Coach Mike Pettine at PCA-Cleveland's inaugural Breakfast With The Coaches event in May 2014. FOX Sports Ohio's Matt Underwood led the discussion.
Francona talks about the importance of creating trust in sports and in life. There are always going to be situations in which you have to tell people something they don't want to hear. If you create that trust, it is easier to be honest and maintain a positive relationship. He also says that saying something untruthful will lose their trust forever.
