Sports Team Culture: Is it making or breaking your team?

20/10/2014 2 Comments

Why we recommend it: Bringing together a group of people to forge a high performing team culture is no simple exercise. It doesn’t happen by itself, nor is it a ‘matter of time’. Master coaches understand the intricacies, focus and persistence it takes. Be confident in managing your team’s unique culture, with practical coaching strategies to keep your team on the right track. It can be difficult to find a resource that can effectively guide your team through the potential pitfalls of culture. But this eBook is designed to take you step by step through the four distinct types of culture, and how to coach for these cultures.

The Boys in the Boat Book Review – Daniel James Brown

19/09/2014 No Comments

This book is our number one, favorite book of 2013 (and possibly so far this decade – yes, it is that great!).

He takes important elements from the most unlikely of places, be it history, research or stories, and puts forward a solid case for re-thinking important issues and challenges the status quo.
