Hi all, what ideas do ya’ll have for ways to show players you value their role and appreciate them, specifically speaking some sort of system so that it can be regular. I will have the best of intentions to speak to whomever but when left unintentional, I get distracted and don’t achieve as many convos or ways to show players I appreciate what they’re doing/them etc.
Right now as far as systems—we do spotlights at the end of practice/games so I have the chance to spotlight 1-2 people then and I give out “U Make Us Better” little cards that have spots to fill out player name and what they did on them (like business size card in our program branding). I try to do 1 a day so every 2 or 3 weeks a player will receive one.
However, I am specifically looking for more daily routines/systems/procedures to make it intentional and more frequent to build relationships better this season. If left to me remembering…haha…not gonna happen. That’s why I have to make things into systems/procedures if I want it to become routine!
Thanks in advance!
