National Be A Good Teammate Day  | July 22

Good teammates make being part of the team worthwhile! That’s why on July 22, National Be a Good Teammate Day recognizes the sacrifices, kindness, and generosity of these selfless individuals.

Whether it’s sports, family, community, school, or work, everybody is part of a team. Use this date to show your appreciation to those willing to put the needs of their “team” ahead of themselves.

Teamwork may make the dream work, but good teammates are what make the team work!

Anyone who shares team photos on social media on July 22, uses the hashtag #NationalBeAGoodTeammateDay, and tags Lance (@coachlanceloya) in their post will be entered into a drawing to receive a swag bag filled with good teammate goodies and a FREE virtual “Be a Good Teammate” training session for their team.

How to Observe:

On National Be a Good Teammate Day, make an extra effort to express your gratitude to team members who go above and beyond the call of duty. Honor their contributions to the team with a boisterous “Thank you!” or a well-deserved high five or hug.

Other ways to celebrate:

• Take a teammate to lunch

• Gift a teammate a copy of The WE Gear

• Write a handwritten note letting a teammate know what specifically you appreciate about him or her

• Reconnect with a former teammate and reminisce about fun times of the past
