Locker room leadership: What coaches need to know to win

Athletes and coaches focus on training, nutrition and performance statistics, but what about locker room dynamics? Do half-time speeches help propel teams to victory? Can team captains influence teammates’ behavior? What’s the secret to getting elite athletes from different backgrounds and cultures to work as one?

Join academic scholars Dr. Richard Wolfe, Dr. Stacey Fitzsimmons, Dr. Rick Cotton and sports management professionals Gareth Rees (past chief executive officer Rugby Canada), Mike Gillis (former general manager Vancouver Canucks), Cameron Hope (GM Victoria Royals) as they provide their perspectives on how to foster winning sports team dynamics.
