What Drives Winning Teams

(16 customer reviews)

$24.95

 

A modern approach toward personal growth and team cohesion

In this book, learn about Brett’s journey with two teams: Oregon Women’s Basketball and Gonzaga Men’s Basketball on their race to the postseason.

 
 

“This book attacks the human-related issues that can get in the way of a team, like selfishness, complacency and negativity. PGMs (Personal Growth Mondays) brought purpose and direction to our locker room. Most importantly, it provided a platform for our team to find their voice and lead from within.”
– Mark Few, Gonzaga Men’s Basketball

“This shows how our team broke down walls and connected in a special way, which lead to unprecedented success. I used to think, “Why do we have to talk about it? Let’s just ball.” This book shows the power of having real authentic conversations inside your locker room.”
– Kelly Graves, Oregon Women’s Basketball

    I took what Gonzaga did with PGM’s and made our own with Personal Growth Weekly (PGW’s). I absolutely believe being intentional and dedicated to doing PGW’s resonated in our student athletes lives and created deeper relationships between athletes and coaches. Making the time with PGW’s might have took time away from training/practice but the impact was far greater than what we gave up.

    The specific case studies were really great to understand what the concepts can look like within a program. I haven’t had the chance to share with my team yet but looking forward to it!

    Having access to a written copy of the many sessions we discussed as a group is a great resource to draw from. That allows us easy access to great teaching material

    Amazing and easy to implement advice. I have used many of the ideas to help mold my young athletes.

    This was my favorite book of all 3. The reason for this was because I felt that Brett gave me the opportunity and resources to use his examples with my team. I was able to take the exercises that Brett used with other teams and I was able to share it with other coaches.

    The Growth Zone/Comfort Zone connecting with me in how I will approach training sessions. We often tried to push our athletes into the growth zone but didn’t stay long enough if things were not going well. We will be staying longer in the Growth Zone – I needed to re-look and refocus one what that really means to us as a team. We really had a great time discussing and doing the activity associated with the question, “what are 3 things that get in the way of your team maximizing its ability?” It was good for the players to see that everyone listed things that fell on the human side – except on kiddo wrote WEATHER. She hates playing in the rain so that made us all laugh.

    Bought this last week, finished it the second day I had it. Planning on using many of the questions and activities in the book with my leaders/captains this summer.

    I’ve been using a lot of these concepts–in particular, the society scorecard–in talking with my team during the lockdown. I think that’s been very helpful for a lot of our players (and coaches) who suddenly find themselves not being able to do something that had been a huge part of their lives.

    I used the team activities to set up our season – starting from the very beginning. I thought helping our players be aware of what potentially could hold back our team realizing our full potential, was a great place to start our journey

    Circling back to the beginning/roots and giving real life examples, uses, templates that are for teams, as the title says. The stories have an arc and build upon each other.

    Used this as a book study with my coaching staff (I’m a High School A.D.). Also, my coaches used many of the lessons with their teams.

    Further crystalized why some teams excel while other really talented teams struggle. Validated why my focus has shifted. Have used it directly with my team to help them understand why the focus of our program isn’t the same as it was years ago.
