Welcome to Make the Call, our original song for the Five-Tool Team series with Advisory Partner Ricardo Valerdi, PhD. Great teams don't guess when the game is on the line. They slow down, ask better questions, and use every tool they've got. This song puts the five FLASH tools in your ear so they're there when you need them.

Here's your challenge: play it in the genre you love, then in one you'd never choose. Open the lyrics and sing the FLASH chorus out loud. Score your journey, earn coins, and then bring one tool into a real decision this week.

About the song

Make the Call is an original Force for Health® song written for our Five-Tool Team series. It's inspired by The Five-Tool Team: Bringing Out the Best in People to Make Better Decisions by Ricardo Valerdi, PhD, and his FLASH framework for team decisions: Focus on the questions, Look at the data from more than one angle, Analyze the consequences, Scrutinize the options, and Humanize the decision.

📖 Why a song about decisions?▾

Under pressure, people fall back on whatever is easiest to remember. A chorus is easy to remember. If a team can sing F-L-A-S-H, they can reach for all five tools in the moment, not just the one they're most comfortable with. Six genres means the coach who loves Country, the analyst who lives in Jazz and the teen who only plays Hip Hop can all find their way in.

The song, lyrics and artwork are our own. To read Ricardo's full story, research and examples, get the book.
