How To Take Your Team To The Next Level

Published on: 3rd August, 2020

In this episode, we share an overview of Alicia's Team Bootcamp!

Sweet Spotters have big aspirations for their teams. They usually revolve around working on 3 main things:

  • Getting (and keeping) our girls motivated
  • Holding them accountable for the work it takes
  • Building their confidence in their ability to execute

This is where the momentum seems to slow for most people.

We have great intentions and ideas. Plus we sure as heck put in the time reading, learning and growing as coaches to help our girls develop these skills.

What if you could not only give your entire team a running head start but also keep that momentum going all year?

A head start in ownership, empowerment and confidence.

Think that could help you build a stronger team that stays strong all season?

Allow us to show you how!
