Volume : II, Issue : VI, July - 2012 Role of Group Dynamics in Team Sports ASHVIN M.CHANDEL DOI : 10.9780/22307850, 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. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : ASHVIN M.CHANDEL, (2012). Role of Group Dynamics in Team Sports.
