“Highly recommend! Last year our team was 5-11 and was dismissed from the state playoffs in the first round. This year, we did “The Good Teammate Factory” in the weeks leading up to our first practice. It empowered our team to tackle conflict in a constructive way. We recognized each other for our strengths as well as our differences. The difference? This year we were 14-7 and made it to the round of 16 in the state playoffs. This curriculum was a contributing factor for sure!!!”

The course content might disrupt, undermine, or be counter to our team culture.

The Good Teammate Factory is designed to supplement a team’s culture.  We do not cover techniques or suggest tactics for improving your workload or managing your operations. The content focuses on improving your individual members’ way of thinking about what it means to be a good teammate. Unless your team’s culture is averse to having better teammates, this course will not disrupt, undermine, or be counter to your vision.

We don’t need more teambuilding.

You’re probably right. But this course is not simply about team-building; it’s about teammate-building.

What makes The Good Teammate Factory different is that our focus is not on the team as a whole, but on the individuals who make up the team. We help participants develop the mindset, habits, and accountability required to become better teammates. When individuals begin thinking differently, the culture of the team begins to change with them. Stronger teamwork then becomes the natural byproduct of stronger teammates.

Our team doesn’t have enough time to do this course.

All teams experience the crunch of not having enough time to get everything done. But the most successful teams invest in endeavors that make them more efficient and put them in a position to achieve better results. Investing in this workshop will reduce the time wasted on petty squabbles between teammates and free team leaders to concentrate on more meaningful matters.

Mental training is not as impactful as physical training.

Physical training can be beneficial in terms of getting the job done. But mental training will keep getting the job done. The Good Teammate Factory trains individuals to be self-motivated and perpetually inspired. Individuals become driven to serve the needs of their team. Service leads to purpose, and purpose leads to happiness. Happy teammates are more productive, have stronger immune systems, and are primed to cope with stress.

What’s the point? The team with the most talent always wins.

No way! Nothing is more common than teams that fail because they lack chemistry and are plagued by selfishness. The Good Teammate Factory will help your talent learn to work for each other and not against each other. The workshop content is designed to curb selfishness and facilitate a “team-first” mindset.

Thirty minutes isn’t long enough to make a difference.

Coaches often underestimate how much change can result from devoting just 30 minutes to culture building. If you would like to extend the workshop, we recommend incorporating meaningful discussion questions. A list of suggested discussion questions is included with your purchase.
