Team Building Activities for Athletes
Coaches, Are You Tired of the Same Old Drills? It’s Time to Build a Stronger, More Connected Team—One Game at a Time!
Great teams don’t just happen. They aren’t built by running the same sprints, drilling the same plays, and hoping somehow your athletes just “figure it out.”
They’re built through connection. Through trust. Through shared moments that don’t show up on a stat sheet but define a season.
In Team Building Activities for Athletes, mental performance coach James Leath—a master of team culture, leadership development, and getting athletes to actually listen—shares his proven, field-tested activities designed to:
✅ Strengthen team chemistry (Because teams that laugh together, win together.)
✅ Improve communication on and off the field (Yes, even with that player.)
✅ Develop leadership skills naturally (No forced speeches or awkward exercises.)
✅ Create inside jokes and memories that last a lifetime (The real glue of great teams.)
What’s Inside?
📖 52 team-building activities tested on teams from youth leagues to elite athletes
🧠 Simple, fun, and effective games that build trust, leadership, and camaraderie
🏆 Ways to turn “pointless” exercises into powerful lessons on teamwork and resilience
💡 How to handle athlete (and parent) objections when they say, “This is stupid, Coach.”
🎤 Real stories from James’ coaching career—including when a clipboard betrayed him mid-game
Whether you’re coaching middle schoolers trying to figure out which shoe goes on which foot, high schoolers who think they already know everything, or elite athletes chasing a championship, this book will change the way you build your team—without adding more drills, film sessions, or boring lectures.
