Tips to Lead, Inspire, and Motivate Your Team
Training together
Encourage your team to train together, whether it’s going for a group run, attending a fitness class, or organizing a weekend hike. Training together fosters camaraderie, builds team spirit, and keeps everyone motivated. It’s not just about the physical preparation, but the shared experience of working towards a common goal. By training together, your team will be stronger, both mentally and physically, come race day.
POWerful Moments
Remind your team that every step they take in this race directly supports children battling cancer. Share the inspiring stories of our three Superhero 5K ambassadors to show the real, tangible difference their efforts make. Watching these videos and hearing firsthand from those who have benefited from Candlelighters' support can fuel your team’s passion and commitment. These powerful moments will help everyone remember the "why" behind their participation and inspire them to give their all.
Supercharging Your Squad
As a Team Captain, your enthusiasm and energy are contagious. Keep your squad motivated by setting goals, celebrating small victories, and sharing words of encouragement regularly. Use social media to keep the momentum going, post updates on your fundraising progress, and acknowledge team members for their efforts. When your team feels supported and energized, they’ll be ready to give their best on race day.
