In the short time that we’ve worked with Teamworks, our staff has definitely benefitted from using it.How does Teamworks support the culture you are trying to build within your program?We have our guys fill out their own calendars every Sunday night. They are also responsible for filling out their goals throughout the year, and they have to review their calendar and the goals every morning. In addition to helping us communicate better, Teamworks also helps our players develop valuable life skills such as integrity and accountability.How have the athletes responded to Teamworks?They really like it. We’ve always worked pretty hard on communicating, and Teamworks makes our lives easier and makes things clearer.

If we need to get a hold of them in a hurry or change our plan, it’s easy and accessible.Have you noticed any changes when it comes to accountability?Yes. With Teamworks, we can see what our players are doing, which helps us hold them accountable.
