- Coach’s Guide To Team Building
  
  In The Coach’s Guide to Team Building, Dr. Greg Dale shares the framework and the necessary building blocks for successful team building. His philosophy is that successful team building is a year round process, naturally occurring as three distinctive seasons: “Pre-Season,” “In Season,” and “Off-Season.” The “Pre Season” section shares strategies and creative ideas for implementing experiential (group problem solving) activities, evaluating and molding team culture, team roles, developing pride in a team’s sub-units, and understanding the stages of team building. 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.

- The Coach’s Guide To Dealing Effectively With Parents
  
  Parental issues have become one of the defining factors for determining a coach’s longevity, happiness, and satisfaction with the coaching profession. In this highly informative presentation, Dale takes an in-depth look at what factors into a parent’s behavior and motivation. In addition, Dale takes a close look at what a coach can do to promote a proactive, positive, and coach-controlled atmosphere that will enable you to function “with” rather than “against” an athlete’s parents. The uniqueness of Dale’s presentation is that rather than looking at a particular individual’s behavior, he feels it is imperative to understand the three types of families that a coach will encounter. Dale shares the traits of each of these family types, details the predictable behaviors of the parents and athletes, and gives key recommendations for how to best work with both parent and athlete from each family type. Dale then details how to present and implement parent behavioral strategies for game day and for establishing a positive parental alliance that best serves the needs of the athlete.
