Home-Court Advantage

Teams throughout history post a better home record than away record.  It is very apparent that teams just simply perform better when they play at home as opposed to on the road.  There could be several factors that attribute to the home teams success. Here are THREE that instantly come to mind:

BELIEVE

When you play at home you have the support of the crowd on your side.  You have people in the seats that believe in you and desire to see you succeed.

ENCOURAGEMENT

When you play at home you have the encouragement of the crowd.  When you do something great your fans cheer uncontrollably.  Even when you miss a play, strikeout, or shoot an air-ball...for the most part you still have people encouraging you to do better next time.

COMFORT

When you play at home you are comfortable.  You are familiar with your surroundings.  You have you very own "sweet spot" that enables you to be successful.

Everyday people enter your organization, business, church or school!  As leaders it is our responsibility to make these people feel like they are "playing at home".  Every person we encounter throughout the day should feel comfortable, encouraged, and walk away knowing someone believes in them.

The key to making people feel like they have "home-court advantage" is through POSITIVE COMMUNICATION.  Through our verbal and non-verbal communication we are either building others up or tearing them down.  

What are you communicating with the people you come in contact with on a daily basis?
