During “In-Season”, Dale stresses the importance of ongoing communication with team leaders, the benefits of sharing team ownership with your team, and strategies for an effective and honest “open door” policy with athletes. He also shares the value of implementing “positive confrontation” situations among team members, along with the importance of planning experiential activities outside of the sport. The “Post-Season” section offers tips for continuity through ongoing communication with team members.
