The Way of the Champion: Developing Team Unity and Leadership

with Jerry Lynch, PhD;
Sport Psychologist, international speaker, corporate consultant; national class athlete and author.

All great championship teams have a oneness of unity and purpose, as well as sound leadership throughout the ranks. Lynch begins by showing how to identify qualities of true leaders. Athletes are challenged to choose two qualities that they can demonstrate as a leader. He then guides the athletes through a 3-minute deep breathing exercise, visualizing these leadership qualities and repeating positive affirmations about their ability to lead. Every single athlete achieves more with a strong sense of team. Through a series of activities Lynch shows athletes how to increase team unity and cohesion and how to unify the team with common goals and purpose. He also focuses on behaviors that need to be eliminated to enhance team unity.
