Savannah James has opened up about a personal weakness during the latest episode of her podcast Everybody’s Crazy. While she’s excelled in nearly every aspect of her life-from raising three children to building a wellness brand-Savannah candidly admitted that leading group work is one area where she struggles.
Her revelation came during a relatable moment in the episode aired Monday, where she and co-host April McDaniel responded to a caller from Connecticut.
LeBron James gets ‘into the body’ of Lakers cheerleader during playful dance practice
The caller, a woman enrolled in an MBA program, shared her frustrations about leading and collaborating with a team-a familiar scenario for many balancing school, careers, and leadership roles.
April McDaniel, ever the strategist, jumped in with a thoughtful analogy. She encouraged the caller to treat team leadership like a game of chess. McDaniel explained that understanding individual strengths and using them strategically can help reduce friction and increase productivity: “You have to know the pieces on the board and how to move them,” she advised.

But for Savannah, that’s where the challenge begins. She admitted with refreshing honesty that group dynamics and leadership strategies are not her strong suit.
“I’m not good at it at all,” Savannah confessed. “I can’t do the game play. I don’t even know how to play chess.”
Steady foundation in LeBron’s life
Her words offered a rare glimpse into the vulnerabilities of someone often seen as near-flawless, especially in her role as the matriarch of the James household.
It’s an unusual admission from someone who is consistently credited for being the steady foundation in LeBron James‘ life.
While the NBA superstar dominates headlines with his athletic accolades, he has frequently praised Savannah for being the one who holds the family together behind the scenes. In interviews, LeBron has spoken about how her strength and calm allow him to focus fully on his career and ambitions, crediting her with much of his personal stability.
Still, Savannah‘s latest comments are an important reminder that even the most accomplished individuals face challenges-and that not being naturally adept at something doesn’t diminish overall success or value.

Právě tenhle výstavní finiš výrazně posílil jeho vyjednávací pozici. „To, že David dostává titulovou šanci už po jednom zápase, je podle mě naprosto oprávněné vzhledem k tomu, co v kariéře dokázal a kam až se propracoval,“ říká pro Sport.cz Neruda.A tak byla dohoda rychle na světě. Oktagon stvrdil bitvu dvou špičkových fighterů.„Jdou proti sobě nejen bývalí bojovníci UFC, ale rovněž borci z nejvyšších příček v žebříčku. Oba byli během svých kariér extrémně vysoko. Navíc teď jsou na vrcholu sil. Nejde o bojovníky, kteří by byli za zenitem.

Král Fuksa. Zažívá nejlepší období života, dcera ho vrací do dětských let
„Pro mě výsledky ankety nejsou podstatné, spíš to beru jako příjemné setkání s ostatními vodáky,“ vyprávěl Fuksa při vyhlášení na lodi Tajemství. Po zasloužené dovolené už se vrhl do tréninku a chystá se na stěhování.Podle vašich letošních výsledků to vypadalo, že ani nebylo náročné navázat na výsledky po zlatém olympijském roce.Upřímně, nebylo to těžké. Jsem v kanoistické pozici, že si věřím. Mám takové hezké zdravé sebevědomí, protože vím, že kluky, s nimiž jezdím, dokážu porážet. Není tam nikdo, kdo by byl uletěný, to doufám, že jsem já. Teď jen sbírám ovoce za dlouhé roky dřiny, kdy jsem k tomu přistupoval poctivě. Doufám, že to bude ještě chvíli trvat, protože po třicítce zažívám nejlepší roky v osobním i sportovním životě. Tak chci mít dál tu velkou lásku ke sportu, protože když je volno, tak si uvědomuju, že budu muset sportovat do konce života, bez sportu jsem takový nepříjemný. […]

Could Joe Brady Be Penn State’s Next Head Coach? James Franklin’s Next Stop: UNC?
From Curt Cignetti to Matt Rhule, you've likely heard of every top possible college coach who's a candidate to replace James Franklin at Penn State by now. However, FOX Sports' Chris "The Bear" Fallica believes there's an NFL coach worth keeping an eye on in the Penn State sweepstakes: Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady."I wouldn't be surprised if, behind the scenes, [Terry] Pegula — the owner of the Bills, big money guy and is kind of the one footing the bill for most of the buyout — maybe there's some things going on behind the scenes [where he's saying], ‘I'll ante up the buyout money, but Joe Brady's going to be our next head coach,'" Fallica said on "Bear Bets."
