College athletics are a grind to say the least. Most days start at 5am or 6pm and end at 10pm or so. Things like this go a long way to keeping spirits high and energy levels up.We've all had jobs that sucked after the fun was taken away. Its refreshing seeing the team having fun while learning basic life skills. Regardless of what your doing if your not having fun along the way its hard to put in the effort. GBO..
This is really cute but I could care less, show me in game results
I’ve always liked the solving drills that the military does, for team chemistry. I’m hoping that they come together by doing more of this. I believe they will. Pull it together.These are team building and problem solving drills, military schools do them all the time. You would be amazed at how much rapport can be built by a group in very little time. They're an awesome way to build chemistry.
You do understand that things as simple and "cute" or goofy as this are a fun way for guys to build trust, right?This is really cute but I could care less, show me in game results
Agree. One thing I've learned is that almost any job can be a good one or a bad one. Much of it has to do with your boss but much to do with how we choose to approach work. Very little of it has to do with what you're actually doing. A cushy office job can be torture. Picking up garbage can be a great job.Staying 30 minutes to help the company or boss you believe in is not the same thing as being forced to stay an hour over at a job you can't wait to click out from.
Being all in is a mental thing.
People who are truly all in are really tough to break. We haven't had a team in years that has been all in with no quit.
Butch Jones did similar thingsYou do understand that things as simple and "cute" or goofy as this are a fun way for guys to build trust, right?
The military does things similar to this on an escalating scale to build trust and cohesiveness. I can't count the number of times I said "this is stupid" while in the Army. As an officer... we were taught more of the "theory" behind why you make a whole platoon tear down their barracks because you "found" some soap residue in the shower.
I don't recall that... but no single thing guarantees success. Jones was fatally flawed. Heupel may fail too... but this is good medicine for a team that didn't have a lot of cohesion for much of the last two years.Butch Jones did similar things
