With everyone from the Ryerson Women's Basketball Team back from a short Christmas break and some roster moves that will change the team chemistry, I thought it smart to take the team development back to a forming exercise to start the second half of the season. Today we achieved some new interesting team connection from a round of Speed Dating.
Some of the players have been on the team together for several years. Through today's Speed Dating activity players still managed to learn some new interesting things about each other. The standout learning was that one of our players has a deep affinity for fishing. This is a pass-time that energizes her and that she shares with her dad.
The theme of the Speed Dating session was "What Energizes You" and "What Drains You of Energy". It's interesting the different "A-Ha" moments that come from working with different groups and teams. Many of the Ryerson players shared that they get energized by positive events and positive people around them and that their energy is drained by negative events and negative people around them. One athlete pointed out that the session helped her to connect with the influence her behaviour and energy has on those around her.
I've attached a short clip below of part of the session.
