Building a Competitive Culture

The Competitive Cauldron Training and Spreadsheet

The Competitive Cauldron is a simple system helping you to objectively track and rank your players practice performance.  The result is players are more bought into their role and more competitive in practices.

• The training will help you to design and implement the cauldron within your program.
• The spreadsheet will track each players win% and rank throughout the season!
• With the purchase of the course you a file for every team within your program. If an Athletic Department or Club wishes to purchase additional files please email me at jpnerbun@thriveonchallenge.com for pricing. 

Does your team culture struggle with a lack of competitiveness? 

• Reserves don't buy in to their role
• Players are afraid to compete
• We struggle to stay engaged 
• Players and parents have unrealistic view of their ability
• Practices have low energy
• Players don’t feel they have to earn playing time
  
  

I spent over a decade trying to motivate players every practice, while dealing with complaints about playing time because individuals felt they deserved a bigger role.

Over the last 3 years the competitive cauldron has helped transform over 50 programs at the collegiate, high school, and youth levels in sports like basketball, hockey, soccer, football, and volleyball.

Other Ideas

The current model for leadership development in sports and business is failing miserably. All the research out there points to most traditional models being a complete waste of resources. Instead of delivering leadership lessons in a classroom or a weekend retreat, we need to focus on fo ur key things if we are to be successful:

1. Experiential Learning
2. Personal Development 
3. Leadership System 
4. Leader Mentorship 

The Captain’s Council System provides a structure so your program will continually focus on those four key areas. While leading research has been foundational to its development, it has also relied on modeling some of sports greatest teams, such as the New Zealand All Blacks Rugby Team. 

Learn how to hold your athletes accountable with strategies that actually work without damaging relationships.
