Performance Recovery and Optimization for Teams (PRO-TEAMS): A Psychological Skills Training Program to Enhance Team Functioning

Abstract

Abstract We put forth an evidence-based intervention aimed at enhancing team functioning, titled Performance Recovery and Optimization for Teams (PRO-TEAMS), and implemented it with a professional frisbee team. Based on a multi-theoretical stance and covering eight different topics linked to team functioning (e.g., shared values, team cohesion, team confidence), the PRO-TEAMS was perceived to be beneficial to the frisbee team. In what follows, we provide a detailed description of the workshop sessions and the program evaluation. Practitioners interested in adapting the PRO-TEAMS to other teams and levels of play are first encouraged to reflect on the context of their work.
