TeamWise

Smarter Players, Smarter Coaches

Because athletes are heroes. And our kids want to be just like them.

Sports are ruled by drive and energy; we reward talent and strength. But players, even coaches, can feel the rush of the game, and they sometimes feel entitled to break rules, think they earned the privilege with hard work, training, and having a fan base. They don’t always get what they might be doing wrong in relationships.

And this makes individuals and teams and team owners liable. Emotional, physical, financial and sexual safety can be compromised. Because athletes are heroes, even coaches, celebrities to their fans, they need to be careful in relationships, both on and off the field.

Because kids want to be just like them.

Fans don’t want to hear about violent episodes, often associated with alcohol and substance abuse, and the DUI’s are disappointing. They don’t want to hear about sexting or child abuse, certainly not pedophilia, or anyone associated with the team to be accused of acquaintance rape, or date rape, or any other type of relationship abuse.

They want strength with dignity. Litigation, needless to say, wastes valuable resources and time.

Team relationship training

Separate player and coach workshops

Empathy education for critical event risk reduction

TEAM WISE had to be created, mainly because culturally we hold athletes in high esteem. Wearing the uniform shouldn’t jeopardize anyone, not even the team.
