WHY

TEAM SESSIONS?

Team sessions cover mental skills and group dynamics training, and are adaptable to the needs of each group.  The advantages of these sessions include:

Clarify team roles and address or prevent internal conflicts

Team sessions can include workshops addressing communication, trust, individual and shared goal setting, leadership, and team roles and expectations.

Customized training and packages

Our providers can work with coaches and support staff to create sessions and training pathways responsive to the team’s dynamics, strengths, growth areas, and targeted goals.

Increased team interaction and engagement

Team sessions can foreground interactivity through experiential activities, small breakout groups, and full team discussions.

Led by professionals in sport performance and mental health

Our staff is certified to provide both mental health and mental skills services, and understands the overlapping importance of overall wellness and optimal performance.

what to

expect

Team sessions are offered virtually or on-location, typically the team’s campus or training facilities.  In most cases, the content of the session will be determined based on prior discussions with coaches or the program director, and in direct response to the team’s needs and presenting challenges.  Like physical skills training, our mental skills training often begins with instruction, before moving into the coaching and workshopping of mental skills strategies and techniques.  Our sessions tend to be highly interactive and leave ample room for practice, questions and answers, and additional feedback.  In-person sessions will often include handouts or presentations to help athletes follow along and facilitate learning.  Virtual sessions will include PowerPoint slides, media, or other virtual aids to keep athletes engaged and speed skill acquisition.

Whatever the topic and location, coaches, directors, and/or team managers can expect thoughtful, adaptive, and targeted skills training designed to help athletes feel and perform better, whether individually or as a group.

The success of every session begins with understanding your needs and goals.  Contact us below with your questions, or to schedule an initial consultation.  We’re here to help, and to make sure that our services are responsive to your needs, and the needs of your athletes.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

QUESTIONS

HOW MUCH DO TEAM SESSIONS COST?

The cost of team sessions greatly depends on the number and length of sessions, amount of support requested, and location in which the services are provided.  We value transparency and accuracy in the pricing of team services, and will be able to offer a quote after a preliminary consultation.

DO COACHES ATTEND TEAM SESSIONS?

Ideally, yes.  While not required, we highly encourage coaches to attend team sessions.  Buy-in from coaches begets buy-in from athletes, and supporting the process of mental skill development will accelerate growth in your athletes, clarify expectations, and strengthen team bonds.  Coaches will also be provided with ideas and resources to reinforce this process in practices, games, and other team activities.

ARE TEAM SESSIONS ONLY FOR ATHLETES?

No.  We also offer group sessions designed specifically for coaches, support staff, parents, and other groups affiliated with the program and interested in optimizing team culture and performance.
