When I ask coaches how they feel about their upcoming season, they give me the spreadsheet reply - net gains and losses on the roster. Your #1 job, coach, is not math. It’s building deep and strong connections throughout the team. #teamidentity #highperformance #tribeprotocol

From Shaka Smart “And, of course, the reward system in sports and basketball is often the opposite. You get most rewarded for what you do offensively, probably least rewarded for how you act, interact and respond, like as a teammate and to adversity and what happens on the floor.” #teamidentityfirst

Over the shoulder shot on my evening bike ride tonight. #notimetostop

If the team has had a losing record, does that mean we punt the season ticket holders and find new fans? #teamidentity.

Great opening session last night from Alex Haslam at #ICSIS5. Zombie Leadership- dead ideas that still walk among us. To understand effective leadership, you must understand the group. #followership. Link to full paper in the comments.

Let’s go! Off to Vancouver for the 5th International Conference on Social Identity in Sport. Eager to learn from the top researchers and practitioners in the world on the latest in team performance, resilience and wellbeing - and much more.

College coaches, for many of you, it’s #recruiting time and lots of official visits. As you show prospective players and parents around your facility, what is your team identity and how do they learn it? What’s their role in building the story? #teamidentity #TRIBE #collegerecruiting

US Soccer will get better when the quality of the broadcasts improves. Every game seems like an extended backgrounder on people and personalities, everything that happened before now. Tell the audience more about what is happening in the game. Find a detail that explains the game.

How many nutmeg goals do we have in this tournament? #worldcup

Thomas Tuchel and England are teaching a master class on identity leadership so far. Start with US. Show some genuine love. Focus on performance over result. #WorldCup2026 #HighPerformance #TeamIdentity #tribeprotocol theguardian.com/football/2026/… @jeremyjholt.bsky.social

When teams win or lose, look and listen for group level explanations of their results. Teams who attribute success and failure to the group overall maintain and recover their performance faster. #worldcup #teamidentity #TRIBEprotocol #teamresilience

Although leaders should be concerned with collective success, most organizations — from sports teams to universities to global companies — still focus on rewarding individual performance. We explain the key incentives for collective success: www.powerofusnewsletter.com/p/entreprene...

Great finish to the season, Marquette. We will savor that UConn victory for awhile. Looking forward to next season! #mubb

Relationships growth victory. More growth. Great victory . Love it, Marquette! Thank you, seniors! #mubb

Good to see the fans of the team and fans of winning on the same page tonight! #mubb

People don’t hate change. They hate poorly designed change.

What’s the #mubb #teamidentity ? Relationships Growth Victory. We are seeing the growth. Outlearn, outgrow, outbelieve, Golden Eagles. #wearemarquette

Marquette players rediscovered what it means to play in front of a MKE home crowd v Providence with 4 left and into overtime. Loving it tonight too. #mubb

I posted this 2 months ago. How is your team doing? Are they playing for each other, no matter what? Reach out. I can help you find out in less than the time for one water break.

Coaches, yes you need to install the offense and defense and make it look like they know what they are doing by game 1. But invest a little on team identity and watch how fast they play for each other. #tribeprotocol #highperformance #wintersports

Parents, DO NOT GO TO YOUR KID’s PRACTICE! www.facebook.com/share/v/1DYN...

Be the team that forces the opponent to call their timeout first. #mubb #momentum

Lots of buzzwords. Many could lead to something. #highperformance #teamidentity #TRIBEprotocol #socialidentity

Traditions - understanding and learning from our past - is a powerful driver of team performance and connection. What would your team carve into its totem pole? #TRIBEProtocol #teamidentity #highperformance.

Someone please tell Mike Crispino doing the @Learfield #uconn #texas broadcast that there is no such foul as “over the back.” I guarantee those words were not spoken by the referee when reporting to the scorer’s table.

1 point gap and playing foot forward at the 16:00 break. I’ll take that. #mubb

Come on Marquette, #winanyway #mubb

If #teamidentity in part is agreeing on the story of us, then we need to agree on what beliefs we are both creating and suspending. I found this conversation incredibly thought provoking. #creativityincaptivity #johnkbucher podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

If Marquette just makes half of their no-footer misses as they get into Big East games, things will be much better. Hang in there #mubb fans!
