What Coaches Are Saying

Includes practical advice.

Rahim E.

I love how simple, yet effective these team building activities are. Easy to incorporate into my practice plans for coaching youth soccer.

Tanya H.

Getting the best out of our athletes is complex and requires more than on‑field skills and tactics. The Champion’s Culture Playbook offers clear and practical activities to help young athletes think differently, build confidence, increase self‑awareness, and understand accountability. It gave me useful exercises to connect my players and empower them to strengthen their mindset, ultimately giving them the tools to enhance their overall performance.

Sadie C.

Building the best possible environment for athlete development requires intentional tools and skill-building. This playbook gives coaches simple activities to help athletes stay grounded and feel more connected to their teammates, their effort, and every session and game.

Great to Meet You,
I'm Phebe

As a multi-Hall of Fame athlete and six-time national champion, I've experienced what it feels like to be part of teams that had something special and teams that didn't.

The difference was never just talent.

It was always culture.

That experience, combined with my years on the sidelines as a coach, has given me a dual perspective on what creates a strong, positive team culture. What players need to feel, and how coaches can help bring it to life.

Coaches are given drills. They're given systems. They're given game plans.

What they are rarely given is a simple, practical way to build connection, accountability, and leadership within their team.

That gap is exactly what The Champion's Culture Playbook Collection was built to fill.

This is for you IF you...

Skip to benefit item 2

Want practical tools you can use right away in your next practice

What age groups and sports are these activities for?

The Champion’s Culture Playbook is designed for athletes ages U8 to U18 and is organized into three age groups: U8 to U10, U11 to U13, and U14 to U18. Each playbook includes simple, fun, and engaging activities that are tailored to the stage of development, helping them feel relevant, intentional, and impactful.

These activities are built to be flexible and can be used across a wide range of team sports. While they were created with sport in mind, the focus is on building connection, confidence, and team culture, making them easy to adapt to different environments.

The Quick Start Edition includes six activities from the full collection that can be used with players of all ages.

The Champion’s Culture Playbook U8 to U18 Collection brings everything together, with all activities from the three age groups in one place.
