“What you do every day matters more than what you do once in a while.” (Gretchen Rubin)

If you want to do anything really well – you have to do it regularly. Teambuilding is the same. It has to be constant – not just saved for special occasions or when there’s a problem. That doesn’t mean it needs to be complicated! Here are some of my favorite conversation starters to use during warm-up, snack break, stretching, cool-down, waiting around at meets, whenever!
