Helping coaches win more games.

Workshops that Help Coaches Develop and Maintain High Performance Teams

The foundation of every successful, healthy team is trust. Life Beyond Sport team building workshops strengthen emotional trust among team members through activities, communication exercises and assessment tools. Coaches know that stronger team trust leads to improved team performance, but building that trust presents challenges. Life Beyond Sport can help. Contact Stephanie for a pricing information and to schedule a workshop for your athletic department or team.

Building Trust Workshop

A fun combination of games and exercises that build both teamwork and communication. You’ll learn more about your players and staff—from personal information, to what they believe they bring to the team, to how they want to grow.  (Maximum 25 people; 2.5 to 3 hours)

Real Colors® Workshop

As a certified Real Colors® facilitator, I help your team discover how the four temperaments common to all people (Blue, Green, Gold, Orange) impact your team chemistry.

This fun, highly interactive workshop helps both coaches and players learn one another's behavioral tendencies, motivators and communication styles -- valuable insights that put your team on the road to better communication, stronger relationships and more game-day success. (Works best with 16-25 people; 2.5 to 3 hours)

Stephanie is a gifted facilitator who connected enthusiastically and passionately with our athletic department during our recent Real Colors workshop. Our coaches and staff appreciated how Stephanie related the material to athletic situations and are still talking about how they will practically implement what they learned.

I too am equipped to better communicate with my staff and plan to implement many of of her suggestions. We look forward to opportunities to bring Stephanie back to UNC Asheville to work with our student-athletes and campus community.

        --Janet Cone, Director of Athletics, UNC Asheville

 

Leading From Your Strengths Workshop

This workshop helps coaches understand one another’s strengths and how they play out in their environment and relationships. Most useful with a coaching staff or athletic department. Participants take a 10-minute online assessment that generates a personal, 23-page report highlighting communication styles, motivational factors and areas for improvement, in addition to individual strengths.

The workshop provides an explanation of the report and the opportunity to share key information. This results in a more holistic understanding of your staff team, which helps align each individual with roles and responsibilities that maximize his/her strengths and make your team more effective. (Length dependent on group size, normally 2-3 hours)

Life Beyond Sport workshops offers your team:

• A safe, encouraging and fun atmosphere
• Time and space to slow down
• Reinforcement of messages you already communicate
• New insights about your players and staff
• Benefits of an outside facilitator
• Objective feedback about your team

Client Success:

Bringing Stephanie in to work with my team on building trust is one of the best things I’ve done since becoming a first-time head coach. I learned a lot about my players that I didn’t know. We definitely left the workshop feeling a lot closer to one another. --Jamelle Elliott, UC Women’s Basketball

The exercises and activities that Stephanie facilitated brought our team chemistry and relationships to a whole new level. I’ve been part of many team building sessions, but this was truly one that will make a lasting difference for us through the entire season, both on and off the court. --Lisa McDonald, Ball State Women's Basketball

All the qualities we learned in Stephanie's session are essential for our success. This workshop helped us reinforce off the court what we've been teaching on the court.  -- Tricia Cullop, Toledo Women's Basketball

 

"Stephanie did a great job of facilitating our team bonding experience. She created an environment where players and coaches shared openly and feedback was genuine. A strong foundation of trust was laid for my team that day."  --Sue Ramsey, Ashland University Women's Basketball

Stephanie’s work with our team was perfect for us. The workshop was fun and interactive and the players opened up and became more vulnerable in a good way. They are well on their way to developing even stronger trust. We all enjoyed it and I learned a lot more about my team at the same time! --Cheri Harrer, Baldwin Wallace Women's Basketball

Stephanie’s team building workshop was just what our team needed.  The activities were a great way to reinforce team trust and communication.  Everyone had fun and it was a perfect springboard into our season! --Michele Durand, Ohio Northern University
