Professional sport psychologist Chris McLachlin has worked with over 150 teams and has found some consistent traits in the great ones. Two that he mentions here are constructive conflict (a team’s ability to give each other feedback without taking offense) and patience. He especially notes the importance of resilience and believes that while every team will face a series of conflicts, the ones that can bounce back are the ones that will reach the highest levels.
Trying to instill these traits can help your players and your entire team grow and achieve success.
