Quick FAQs
What DISC assessments does Team8 People offer for sport?
Three sport-specific DISC Behavioral Profiles: AthleteDISC (for athletes), CoachDISC (for coaches), and Sports ManagerDISC (for the operational and business side of sport including event staff, sport science, athletic directors, and general managers).
All three use the same proven DISC framework with language, examples, and applied strategies tailored to the role.
Is the AthleteDISC the same as the NCAA DISC Profile?
No.
The NCAA offers a generic, free DISC tool to its member institutions; it isn't designed specifically for sport.
The AthleteDISC is purpose-built for the athletic context - written in the language athletes and coaches actually use, with strategies that translate directly to competition, training, and team dynamics.
Many NCAA athletic departments choose the Team8 People AthleteDISC over the free option.
Who uses Team8 People's sport assessments?
NCAA athletic departments, professional teams and leagues, Olympic and national programs, sport governing bodies, sport psychologists, Certified Mental Performance Consultants (CMPCs), coach developers, and university sport faculty in 40+ countries
Can I become accredited to deliver Team8 People sport assessments in my own practice?
Yes.
The DISC Accreditation pathway is open to sport psychologists, mental performance consultants, coach developers, and consultants working in sport.
The accreditation is delivered one-on-one with Bo Hanson, Founder and Director of Team8 People.
