How to Onboard New & Returning Players

Welcoming new or returning players to the team can be tricky, but it doesn’t have to be! 🤔 Whether it’s athletes joining mid-season, returning from another sport, or coming back from injury, it’s key to make sure they feel like part of the team right away. 🏅
Here’s a simple strategy to make that happen: ✨ Ask your existing players: 1️⃣ What was your first day on the team (or back) like? 2️⃣ How do you want new or returning players to feel on their first day? 3️⃣ What can YOU do to make that happen?
By involving players in the process, you’re not just solving the challenge—you’re coaching them to take ownership of creating a welcoming environment! 💪🤝
