Tryouts: The Art of Making Friends and Developing Relationships
Making friends can be intimidating and overwhelming, but it’s an essential part of our lives. Having a support system of friends can help us feel happier, build meaningful relationships, and boost self-esteem. What can you do to step out of your comfort zone when meeting new friends? What can you do to make friends in every team you join?
Rules of the Game: Building Healthy Relationships
You’ve made the team! Whether it is your friend group, a romantic relationship, or family, how do you maintain a healthy relationship so every member feels like a winner? Healthy relationships can enhance your life and make everyone feel good about themselves. However, they don’t just happen. Healthy relationships take time to build and need work to keep them healthy. The more positive effort you put into a relationship, the healthier it should be. So how do you build them, and what are the signs that the team is on a winning path or a losing streak?
You Play How You Practice: Balancing Family & Goals
We’ve all heard the saying…Practice Makes Perfect! Although perfection can look different to everyone and may not be the goal, practice definitely makes things more permanent. For this reason, developing good habits is key! How can you ensure the habits you're creating now balance all the aspects of your life and prioritizes what's most important to you? How do you achieve your goals while also maintaining relationships that support you, such as family and close friends?
Coaching: The Importance of Mentorship
A good coach pushes you to become a better player. They are the glue that can hold everything together. For this reason, everyone can use a mentor…actually, everyone can use multiple types of mentors! The best mentors can help us define and express our calling and goals. How do you develop genuine connections with those you admire or those who can guide you in various ways? Where do you find the best coach for you and take advantage of their expertise? Let us not forget mentoring is a two-way street…how can you be a mentor and share the wealth of your knowledge?
Game Time: Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
It’s game day; the stakes are high, the field is huge, and the competition is fierce! You’re going to need your team to score. Learning to work within a team is crucial! Whether at home, school, work, or social environments coming together with others allows for support in working towards a common goal. Building a team brings people together, but teamwork allows people to use their skills and abilities to accomplish they may not be able to do alone. How do you build and work within a winning team?
