The Green Team is a revolutionary teaching concept and exercise that gets players to understand the need to grow as a leader and work to grow their teammates to the next level.
Engagement Building Exercises
Engaged players become better players. When you spend time with many underachieving teams you start to see the same theme. That is the theme of disengaged players. Increasing a player's character and growing their leadership skills will also increase their engagement. Increased engagement equals more wins.
