\nThis is the final installment of our 7Cs series- a bonus C!
\nToday we talk about Culture. No matter what you do with your team- amazing drills, fun team building exercises, even mental training- none of it will create lasting success without a strong foundation of culture.\u00a0
\nToday we discuss…
\nHow to identify and develop a strong team culture
\n
\n* Decide what you want as a program and then put it into action
\n* Getting players to own the culture
\n* Discuss that culture every day
\n
\n
\n
\nWhat it looks like when the culture is working:
\n
\n* The team is living out the culture words in everything they do
\n* It seems to come easily to them
\n* The players leave your program mentally stronger, more confident and more prepared for what’s next
\n
\nWhat happens when they’re not living up to their culture words
\n
\n* They’re hesitant and not playing confidently
\n* The players start to separate and turn against one another
\n* They don’t treat their teammates well
\n
\nTips for coaches
\n
\n* Coaching philosophy stays the same, but every team has a new culture
\n* Define what’s important to them and hold them accountable to that
\n* Make sure they know what it looks like to live that culture- and what it doesn’t look like
