Role of Group Dynamics in Team Sports

ASHVIN M.CHANDEL

Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

A team is a group. Teams differ a bit from groups though. A team is any group of people that work together to accomplish a shared goal. Team members and team dynamics have to depend on and support each other to accomplish a shared goal. You can recognise team dynamics by looking for the forces that influence team behaviour. The individual ability of each team member is important; however the ability of the individuals in a team is not a good predictor of how a team will perform. Getting a group of athletes to perform as a team is not always easy.The factors that draw athletes to a team and help them remain united in order to achieve a common goal, is referred to as team cohesion. In order to develop team cohesiveness, coaches need to identify what are the contributing factors for their specific team.
