      Introduction

      "Teamwork makes the dream work."

      If you have ever experienced the miracle of a great team as either a player or a coach, it is something that you will always remember. Making a team a great team involves choices that are in the control of the participants. Building that team involves believing, becoming and belonging. It is bringing together a group of people with diverse skills, beliefs and destinies in a way that they wholeheartedly give themselves to the team in order that both the individual and the group may reach their full potential. Few experiences can be as powerful in the growth of a young athlete as being part of a selfless team working toward a common goal.

      Many coaches look at team spirit as an intangible thing that some teams have and others do not. It’s the leaders’ job to teach, promote and build this attitude, and not leave it to chance. The coach must use every bit of his creative energy to develop team spirit within his or her players. He or she must find opportunities to encourage teamwork and unselfishness everyday. Though many life-long relationships are fostered through athletics, some of the greatest memories an individual ever experiences are those that are discovered when he or she is a member of a special team. These are the teams that learned the lessons the coach was trying to teach, and which accomplished goals together that they could have never done by themselves. By correctly applying all the essentials for team building, a coach can enhance the worth of the team many times over the total sum of its parts.

      "Regardless of personal accomplishments, the only true satisfaction a player receives is the satisfaction that only comes from being part of a successful team."

      Vince Lombardi

      The satisfaction of building teams and changing lives of individual players in the process may be the most gratifying experience coaching can offer. As their leader, you have demanded commitments and a level of excellence from them that have allowed them to achieve things that they may have thought impossible. Getting a group of people to blend together and achieve greatness is an experience unique to only a few professions. Coaching is often the model for other professions as they try to bring a team of people toward a common goal. Look how many of the terms we use as coaches
