Never Last Picked.
Your team's Belonging score is in the Opportunity zone. That's not a problem — it's a signal. Here's something you can do about it this week.
You pick the teams.
Balance them yourself. Never let girls pick one by one. The last girl picked is often the first to quit — and the moment the sixth is chosen, every remaining girl is questioning if she will be last picked.
Being picked last isn't just awkward. For a girl at the age where confidence is everything, it's a statement about her worth. She doesn't hear "you were seventh" — she hears "nobody wanted you." And she remembers it long after the session ends. Removing the moment removes the harm. It takes nothing from the session and protects everything that matters.
This week: Takes seconds. Just don't hand the picking over. Balance the teams yourself before training starts — or count them off (1, 2, 1, 2). The girls won't even notice the change. But the one who would have been last will.
