121 - 5 Stages of Team Development: A Field Guide for Coaches & Captains

What this episode covers

Every roster goes through the same predictable stages of development, whether coaches and captains are aware of it or not.  In this episode, Tex breaks down Bruce Tuckman's Five Stages of Team Development through the lens of athletics, from the optimism of Day 1 fall camp all the way through the grief of a season's end.  You'll learn what each stage actually looks like in a locker room, why Storming is not a culture crisis but a growth opportunity, how your leadership style has to change as the team evolves, and exactly what coaches and captains should be doing differently at every stage of the season.  If you've ever looked at your roster and thought 'we should be better than this,' this episode is for you.
