Team Building :

Team building has never been a goal but ends up as a result. A tremendous amount of bonding takes place when a group of individuals endures hardship together for a common goal. A team camp lends towards this end and also morning running. Getting together as a group to train first thing in the morning offers a key experience for these athletes which they will take to the starting line at the state meet. A team that trains AM and PM has a substantial advantage over the one-a-day athlete.

The information I've shared is very basic and not revolutionary. The longer I've been in this (coaching) the more that I realize that it is not the X's and the O's that spells success as much as expectations and work ethic of the leadership (coach). Given the opportunity, athletes will respond to the challenge. All athletes want to be successful, it is a matter of finding their hot button.
