Sport Team FUNDAMENTALS

If there was one switch we could make to increase our ability to help teams strengthen their team culture, it would be to move from a mindset of “we do that” to “and then some!”

If we are developing a spirit of greatness in our team, we are not simply looking for either selfish or unselfish; we are looking for both unselfish and magnanimous.

The antidote to selfishness on our team is magnanimity—or a greatness of spirit! In a magnanimous culture, people are all in and magnify each other’s strengths.

The mindset in the wider culture that is shaping most of the individuals on our team is one of expediency. But, developing true greatness takes persistence and fortitude over a long period of time.

Achieving peak performance throughout games and seasons is a goal for many teams, and that means pursuing the widely known but vaguely understood state of flow.

Effective goal setting embraces both outcome goals (the Fruits) and process goals (the Roots).

Summit-Solidarity-Self: this simple framework is a powerful way to help teams get and keep their priorities in order.
