A team that picks each other up after mistakes plays braver than one that keeps score of them.

Fear of blame makes people play small. If a bad pass earns a week of comments, you stop trying the pass that might be great and start playing the one nobody can criticize. A team that forgets fast gets the opposite: players who attempt the hard thing because the cost of missing is one clap on the shoulder. Courage is partly permission, handed to you by the people around you.

You are part of what everyone else can risk. Next time somebody on your side messes up, be the first voice, and keep it short and warm. Then watch whether the group plays bigger.
