The 'I' in Team???

We’ve all heard it before: “There’s no I in team.” But what happens when the game ends and the team is gone? In this episode, Coach Lyss and Alyssa flip that old saying on its head and dive into what life looks like when all that’s left is the I. If you’ve ever missed the camaraderie, routine, or belonging that came with sports, this conversation will remind you...you’re not alone, and there’s power in building both the I and the team in your next chapter.
