I'm in charge of our post practice speech on Thursday. Was gonna go with faith, but might go this route instead. What do you think? explorersfoundation.org/glyphery/122.htmlOur Greatest Fear —Marianne Williamson it is our light not our darkness that most frightens us Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, Our presence automatically liberates others. —Marianne Williamson

I think you could do an amazing team building session using that. If you need any help, let me know.

You would have to explain it in different words, I would think. It's amazing how bad their/there/they're vocabulary is.

But you don't have to dumb it down. If you are willing to really sit down and have a team building activity, you will need about an hour. Have them analyze what the message is. You can do it by defense/offense or by position. Have them point out their own weakness/strengths and point out strengths of each other and how they can capitalize on their own weaknesses as a group.

Good ideas. The setting will be me speaking for 10 minutes. I will start by asking what their greatest fear is. I will talk about my fear of being a good dad when I found we were having kids. I'll talk about small fears like my fear of heights. Then I will talk about this. I will explain its meaning. Then I will go into what I taught in Sunday school about how God is perfect, and all his creations are perfect. Perfect is good enough. Then I will read the quote by Helen Maroulis that won the gold in wrestling. She realized everyone trained hard and were peak olympians. She knew that her with God in her corner, her best was good enough. Something along those lines. Then remind them that when they look in the mirror, they are looking at God's creation, which is perfect.

Bingo.
I recently showed my classes a TED video about failure. It showed them that failure is ok through experiential learning. We learn from our experiences and adjust. Self-reflection is a marvelous thing.

We do spotlight drill with our kids every week. Part of our practice plan.

Cool deal. A place I was at that is very successful in volleyball did a lot of mental/team prep work. And I talked to my head softball coach here, she likes to have the girls analyze certain topics and work together. We were talking on the way to a volleyball game about how it's very important for the girls on the team to like each other, so she tries to foster an environment of unity by having them do various team building activities. And I agree with that. I've seen the other side and it's nooooooooooooooooo bueno.
