The Warrior Mentality

The Warrior Mentality is composed of three subsections that discuss each dimension of the framework and how it applies to work with diverse athletes and coaches. The first dimension, Identifying Your Purpose, is presented in the context of research and theory related to the power of finding what motivates coaches and players to engage in a team. The second dimension, Acknowledging a Shared Destiny, explores how collectivistic worldviews provide the foundation of all relational processes within successful teams. The third dimension, Recognizing Risks and Building on Resilience, surrounds coaches’ abilities to understand personal shortcomings and systematic challenges within themselves and their players as well as reinforce strengths and contributions to move the team forward.
