Sport Team FUNDAMENTALS

Learn about the right levels of effort and execution needed for optimal training and championship performance.

When every team member is empowered to defend the line that we have defined, even everyday moments can become powerful drivers of connection and performance.

True competitive advantage comes from a team that is united around a shared goal and way of doing things.

Qualities like trust, belief, confidence, and hope are states—not traits—that ebb and flow over a season, competition, or even a single match. When they dip, we act our way out of it.

Qualities like hope, confidence, trust, and belief are necessary assets on our teams, but they are not earned through motivational talk. Rather, they are outcomes of what we do every day.

When we understand integrity as steadfast adherence to our goals and our way, we begin to see how necessary and relevant it is at every point of our journey.

At each level of our depth chart, team members should know how they uniquely matter and what they’re expected to bring.

When team members know that they matter—regardless of role or position—their abilities and their contribution to our team grow exponentially.

There is no perfect team and no perfect season. There is just us, and we have the capacity to decide how we will respond to each other and the journey as it’s unfolding.
