Sports Teams & Small Group Coaching

My signature program "Play to Win" was created  for sports teams and any other group with common goals. Designed to take your team to the next level, "Play to Win" is high energy, interactive and includes exercises and team bonding games designed to increase morale, maximize individual output and increase overall team performance.

​

I have played or coached sports my entire life. I don't remember a time when I have not participated in basketball on some level, my most recent being the head coach of high school girl's varsity team. In my early days, I was so focused on teaching basic fundamentals that they needed. As a result, goal setting, creating a vision for the team, developing team culture and all of those things were an afterthought. In my first couple of seasons, my players got better, definitely learned how to play the game and win more than they ever had but we never got over certain humps. The same teams that always beat us, continued to do so. A winning team culture was pretty much non-existent, the commitment was shaky at best and the morale heavily depended on win/loss outcomes.

When I began studying for my Master's, I took sports psychology classes and used my high school team as guinea pigs. We began to focus on creating winning mindsets, setting individual and team goals, even created a team pledge that everyone had to sign and commit to. Every season from that year on began with a goal setting and vision board party, the same experience that teams will go through in our "Play to Win" Program.

​

I can speak from personal experience about coaching sports teams that don't have clear goals and behave more like a group of people just sharing the same space, rather than a team. Those teams won a few games but still ended up with losing records at the end of the season and didn't really make any major strides from one year to the next. The exact same core group of girls, laser focused on their individual and team goals,  went undefeated in the region one year, won a region champion title another and made several state championship appearances. Something that had never happened in school history by the girls or the boys programs!

If you have a team, any team, not just a sports team, but any group of people working together on a common goal, our "Play to Win" sessions can be just what you need to get to that next level!
