Several years ago I was talking with a sports psychologist. He was introduced to me by a friend/former NBA player. At the (then) age of my son we talked about the balance of training to reach the goal versus pushing and making the journey enjoyable. As a (then) travel coach I asked him about pulling a team together. The discussion went off in the direction of all the team building events he’s had Team USA teams do.
One of my daughter’s friends was a two time member of an Olympic team. They spent a day doing team drills at the Navy SEAL training center. Her response was, “Wow, they do this stuff every day! We all passed out after one day. But the lesson was the only way to get the job done is work as a team in rhythm.
