"Before we started working closely with Rob on our relational skills, we were a talented group of individuals who struggled to function as a unified team. There were missed cues on the field, misunderstandings during training, and sometimes tension off the field that affected our performance. Through the sessions with Rob, we learned how to express ourselves clearly, listen actively, and support each other in ways that went beyond just passing the ball. One of the most significant changes has been how we handle feedback and conflict. Rather than avoiding difficult conversations, we’ve learned to approach them with empathy and clarity. This has not only improved trust within the squad but has also led to faster problem-solving and more collaborative decision-making. The difference was immediate — not just in how we played, but in how we related to one another. Our teamwork improved, our morale went up, and for the first time in a long time, we truly felt connected. We credit much of our success as a squad to the work we did with Rob to develop our relational skills. It literally was a game changer."
