The Champion Teammate: Timeless Lessons to Connect, Compete and Lead in Sports and Life
Synopsis "The Champion Teammate: Timeless Lessons to Connect, Compete and Lead in Sports and Life"
Throughout our lives, we will be part of many teams. From sports teams to community groups to our dining room table, our lives are filled with opportunities to come together with others in pursuit of a common goal, and people who thrive inthese situations are highly valued teammates. We use terms such as competitive, selfless, loyal, inspiring, hardworking, and caring to describe great teammates, but what do those words actually mean, and how do you achieve those ideals? In The Champion Teammate, Jerry Lynch and John O'Sullivan share wisdom accrued from decades of consultation with well over 100 conference, national, and world championship teams and dozens of Hall of Fame coaches; interviews with hundreds of athletes, coaches, and leadership experts on their Way of Champions Podcast; and hundreds of workshops on being an exceptional teammate, leader, coach, and parent. This book offers a powerful approach to help build better relationships, practice effective leadership, and develop the competitive prowess needed to be an exceptional teammate. Through numerous stories of modern-day athletes, as well as time-honored lessons garnered from Eastern philosophy, Western psychology, and Native American tradition, this book will guide and mentor you in creating an environment where you and your teammates can connect, compete, and thrive in sports and in life.
