DLance Loya is the founder and CEO of The Good Teammate Factory and the creator of National Be a Good Teammate Day.
As a leading authority on team dynamics, he specializes in getting individuals to shift into the We Gear and change their focus from me to we. Other experts concentrate on improving teamwork, but Lance concentrates on improving the teammate. Lance’s method works!
A former college basketball coach turned best-selling author, blogger, podcaster, and professional speaker, he is known for his enthusiastic personality and his passion for transforming teambusters into teammates.
Lance is the author of nine books on the subject of being a good teammate, including The WE Gear, which made Forbes’ list of “20 Books to Make You a Better Coach or Mentor,” and the heartwarming children’s book Be a Good Teammate.
He is a rare two-time recipient of the prestigious Schoenfeld Award for Sportsmanship, Character, and Ethics, as presented by the Collegiate Basketball Officials Association.
As a former intercollegiate student-athlete, Lance was an academic All-American. He holds an undergraduate degree in theatre and a master’s degree in sports management.
Prior to becoming a coach, he honed his speaking skills as a radio morning show disc jockey.
Lance believes everybody is part of a team in some capacity, and every affliction facing our society comes down to people not being good teammates. He has inspired readers and audiences around the globe with this impactful message through his books, keynotes, and seminars.

HELPING OUR COMMUNITY!
BOOKS FOR BABIES - BOARD BOOK DRIVE FOR EIGHT WAVES
Our current Books for Babies Drive goal is to collect 400 new or used infant board books by August 1, 2023.
Local Winter Garden area families in need will receive these books to read to their infants through Eight Waves Children & Family Services. Did you know that around 60% of low-income families in the Orlando area do not own age-appropriate books for their children.
You can be a part of helping reduce that staggering number!
Simply gather your gently used or purchase brand new infant board books and get them to a Rotary Club of Horizon West Member.
You can easily drop them off as well at these 3 area locations:
- Bryan Fifer, State Farm Insurance Agent - on 535 near Walgreens
- Axiom Bank N.A. - in Hamlin
- ScribbleSpace - in Summerport Village
Please share the post about this drive to your page and groups on Facebook >>

MAXEY ELEMENTARY STUDENT MENTORS NEEDED
Please contact Francisco to get signed up to be a mentor to one our our Maxey Elementary children that are in need of an adult mentor. Half hour a week is all it takes to make a huge difference in the children's lives and our members that have been doing this for several years share over and over how much it actually has enriched their life as well.
Definitely time worth committing to.
