Sports – Team / Team building
Working with the total team requires some individual goal setting to be accomplished prior to moving forward. The critical starting point for getting any team “on the same page” is team goals. Successful teams always have a vision and a direction they are focused toward.
In our team sessions, we talk about the things we can and can’t control as a team, how we manage adversity, and focus on staying in the moment. Team-building activities are also incorporated into the sessions depending upon if it is classroom or field-related. During our sessions, we use props, video, stories, formulas and visual cues to teach each team member how to maintain a positive attitude and good mental focus. We will dig into the team personalities and discuss the stages a team goes through. During our sessions, many of the following topics are discussed and used.
An important part is the team culture. We work closely with the coach and parents to educate them on what it takes to develop team culture. We suggest activities, events, practice-related sessions that help to insure a good team bond. Our goal is to empower the team to reach a basic level of self-evaluation.
Goal setting
Leadership Sessions- Team Leaders or Individuals ( 5- 1 Hr. Sessions)
- Personal Development - Communication - Confidence and Composure - Leading others - A Leader is a Team Builder
The following is a list of areas that we would concentrate on with the athlete depending upon his/her needs.
Sports - Individual
In the individual sessions, we will work one-on-one with the athlete either in person or telephonically to develop a routine of preparation for practice and competition. The athlete will be taught techniques to manage his/her focus, emotions, arousal and confidence during competition.
We will accomplish this through a program of establishing certain principals, goal setting, understanding the things they can and can’t control about their sport (and life). Self-belief techniques and self-talk are incorporated into the sessions. The added benefit is not only how this applies to their sport, but more importantly, how it applies to all parts of their lives.
If the athletes grasp these concepts, they have a great platform to build off of for their confidence and future success in whatever they decide to do. Our goal is for each of our "students " to reach a basic level of self- assessment. They are empowered and in control of the choices they make on and off the field.
