Why lifting with your teammates matters:
“The culture and leadership and encouragement and the team bonding take steps and reps as well.”

‼️Why Kids Quit Sports‼️
70% of children are dropping out of organized sports by the age of 13.
5 main reasons:
1. It’s no longer fun.
2. They have lost ownership of the experience.
3. They don’t get playing time.
4. They are afraid to make mistakes.
5. They feel disrespected.
Therefore…it is our obligation as coaches, parents, and adults to:
1. Create life-giving experience.
2. Instill a “Get to vs. Have to” mentality.
3. Set up value system not based on playing time.
4. Encourage risk…”If you aren’t making mistakes, you aren’t doing anything.”
5. Love BIG!
The attitude you bring to a conversation shapes the quality of the conversation. If you have a negative or cynical or indifferent mindset, it is not likely you will care, listen, or communicate. You certainly won’t connect.
If you want to communicate, it is essential to manage your mindset. In our R Factor workshops, we call it “Get Your Mind Right.”
Don’t let undisciplined emotion hijack your conversations. Mismanaged emotion doesn’t care about the other person’s message, it doesn’t like to listen, and it causes you to speak impulsively and without thinking. It makes a conversation far more difficult, and it damages the relationship.
Disciplined emotion, on the other hand, motivates you to care about the other person and their message, it helps you listen to understand, and when you speak it clarifies and enhances your message. The goal is to listen in a way that makes people want to talk with you, and to speak in a way that makes people want to listen to you.
