Welcome back to another powerful episode of Game Changers – Athlete Edition! This week, co-hosts Kortney Harmon and Julie Jones sit down with JP Nerbun—bestselling author, leadership coach, founder of TOC Culture Consulting, and renowned expert in sports culture and leadership.
JP dives into the nuances of building winning team cultures, offering practical wisdom for athletes, coaches, and parents. He explains why cultivating culture isn’t about tearing everything down and starting over—instead, it’s more like tending a garden: nurturing what’s good, pulling out the weeds, and helping everyone thrive.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
The athlete’s vital role in shaping and sustaining positive team culture.
How to lead by example, especially when things get tough.
The power of reframing setbacks and fostering an outward, giving mindset.
Concrete strategies for managing negativity within teams, including the toxic effects of unchecked complaining.
JP’s top three culture-building mistakes—and how to avoid them.
Key traditions and everyday actions that drive lasting transformation, plus why “little” efforts (like post-practice tea and chats) can create big shifts.
The value of identifying your personal non-negotiables and clarifying what it takes to be successful as an athlete or teammate.
Why embracing every individual, from star players to janitors and groundskeepers, shapes team identity and unity.
JP also shares insights from his books, Calling Up: Discovering Your Journey to Transformational Leadership and The Culture System, making this episode a must-listen for anyone eager to elevate their team’s environment, whether you’re an athlete, coach, or sports parent.
Stay tuned for next episode: JP returns to discuss the parent’s impact on team culture, sharing actionable advice for turning parents into valuable allies.
