The importance of team building

Team building is very important on any team, but especially on a team where there are new or lots of new members. My dance team just recently acquired five new members to the team. Some or most of the original members who have been on dance team before or the previous year know the new members. They know them just through their studios or other activities, but not all of us know them. Team building activities are good to get to know the other people on the team better and to build bonds between the team. It helps the team as whole to become one and work together better. This will also happen with time, but team building encourages it to happen.

There are many different team building activities and you can choose one based on what you want the focus to be. Whether you want that to be communication, problem solving, memory, or just "getting to know you" games to help with that. Creating a connection between your teammates and yourself is important and can help with many problems that may arise with you or your team if you all are not all on the same page or working together for a common goal.

Girls can be very judgmental and often compare themselves when jealous. So when you have a new team with a bunch of very beautiful and talented girls you can either all be friends and get along together or be enemies and we all know that being friends is the better option here. In order to be a successful team and accomplish things together everyone, and I mean everyone, is going to have to do their part to make the team a success. You're not going to be friends with everyone and there will be conflict at times but making sure you all know each other and putting forth the effort to get to know each other will ultimately benefit the team for the good.

Everyone needs to participate and do their part other wise someone will be left out or slack off. Have you ever heard the phrase "You're as strong as your weakest link," well our coach says this all the time because its true. If your weakest link is not at the level as the others then the others will slack off and not get better. Making sure team building is a factor in a new season is very important and hopefully you start getting to know your knew teammates:)
