The Human Performance Project

Athletic Teams

What makes a championship team?

“The team-building message Applied Performance Sciences delivered over the course of two and a half days was one that I’m sure will stay with our guys for the rest of their lives. TEAM – TEAMMATE – SELF. Very powerful!”

– JIM M., Men’s Head Basketball Coach, Ithaca College

At elite levels of sport, it is not uncommon for “more talented” teams to be defeated by “less talented” teams. Conversely, every day, teams win games that they were not “supposed” to win. Why does this happen and what does it take to be a championship team? In high-level competition, where all athletes are strong and all coaches are capable, victory is rarely determined by talent or playbooks. Championship teams understand that elite performance requires mastery of factors – physiological, behavioral and neurobiological – that are beyond the sport itself.
