New Study: College Athletics Boosts Teamwork, Happiness, and Democracy
A new study by Project Aristotle highlights the importance of psychological safety in successful teams, a finding that echoes the benefits of college board athletics in fostering teamwork and interpersonal skills. Over 1,000 colleges and universities, including Stanford University, are participating in the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge, demonstrating a commitment to civic engagement and community involvement.
The Grant and Glueck Studies have shown that good relationships and interpersonal skills are the strongest predictors of lifetime happiness and professional success. College board athletics, with its emphasis on teamwork and collaboration, provides an effective route to developing these skills. Coaches in college board athletics often use the S.T.O.R.M philosophy to cultivate good athletes and good people: Show Up, Take Care of Relationships, Own Your Power, Raise Others Up, and Maintain Mission Focus.
Great teammates, as highlighted in college board athletics, not only win games but also build championship teams. They engage fully in democracy, choosing to be active participants in their own story, rather than passive characters in someone else's. By embodying the S.T.O.R.M philosophy, individuals can become active participants in their communities and engage in voting, contributing to a more democratic society.
The ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge, with over 1,000 participating colleges and universities, including Stanford University, underscores the importance of civic engagement and community involvement in higher education. By fostering psychological safety, teamwork, and interpersonal skills, college board athletics equips students with the tools necessary for lifetime happiness and professional success, as well as active citizenship.
