When young Calvin Hobbes was asked to restore harmony in the Portland Pythons locker room after a fight broke out during the last practice.
Calvin started by addressing the team as a whole to try to get everyone on the same page and working towards the same goal of winning as many games as possible. He started by mentioning how a well functioning team that has great chemistry and team spirit, will convert that into many wins and a streak of what seems like good luck. Whereas the Pythons in the current standing is struggling does not have that luck on our side. Much can probably be attributed to the poorer team atmosphere that can be seen by the fight.
And while fighting isn't good, it's not all bad either, all players want to win, earn their spot on the roster and play as much as possible, pushing emotions high and putting players on edge. By trying to change that annoyance at the teammates and the competition for spots into something positive to help the Pythons win more games!
The individual players will also get a talking to, where Calvin is trying to reach into that deeply rooted desire to win and perform at the highest level and try to build a better atmosphere and feeling in the team, starting with the offending players.
Additionally, Calvin will start by having another approach where he will organize a weekend away for the team with various team and trust building exercises. Among those will be climbing as a duo, paintball in various team sizes. The 2 offending players will also have to come up with 2 of their own activities for the team to engage in.
