The Diverse Explanations Of Team Coaching

The team leader’s ability to manage and improve team performance will be limited by his or her own authority and ability to influence others. There may be restrictions in terms of organisational policy; there may be financial, resource, or time constraints, or team members themselves may be reluctant to participate and to accept change.

Team Cohesion in the sport setting is the most important factor for group effectiveness, being influenced largely by leadership people. Homogenous attitudes and goals, personal sacrifice, and training and instructing coaching tactics are positively linked to team cohesion, and therefore performance. Cohesion is a dynamic and multidimensial process, and these methods could change depending on initial levels. By examining two scenarios of teams having significantly different levels of cohesion, it can be determined how these tactics are used in contrasting contexts. It was concluded the same tactics were used regardless of initial team cohesiveness, and performance was improved in both cases. A single coach administered these methods, but a case study revealed that multiple team leaders can change the different factors enhancing cohesion and still gets the same performance enhancements. Thus, cohesion does not have to rely on a single leader but multiple figures can have a combined effect.

The central, resonating factor that causes teams to fail is a lack of trust in the motivations and actions of team members and a lack of transparency on the part of the leader (Hendrix, 1995). With no trust in team members and a leader, teamwork quickly disintegrates and teams fall apart. The role of the leader as a galvanizing force in the development of team dynamics must occur if a team is going to succeed. The critical success factors in creating this level of unified focus and effort within a team is to a large extent defined by a leader's unique skills sets and ability to create a culture of trust and focus on achievement.

The selection of a team leader is of key decision that can have a great impact on the overall success of a team. A good team leader should be able to build and maintain team morale, instilling confidence and trusting in other team members allowing them to work together to achieve the teams goals (Llopis, 2014). The ability to understand the stages of a team and provide the guidance to all members is essential. The stages of forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning (Abudi, 2010) are a helpful framework for recognizing patterns during team conversations and the understanding that team development may not always be linear. The aptitude to walk the team through these stages and ensuring they understand the development of the team and why things are happening in certain ways is an important part of the self evaluation process. Having ways to identify when certain behavioral patterns are occurring and a way to then cause changes to the team behavior can help the team maximize its productivity.

My coaching philosophy is centered on development, education, hard work, advancement, and a team first mentality. It is extremely important to me to help those around me develop physically, physiologically and socially. I know the value and excitement an education brings. Challenging athletes to do their best and giving them realistic goals will help them develop their skills. I love to say do everything you can to do the best you can. And by this I simply mean strive to give everything you have to what you are doing, while not putting yourself in harms way by over doing it. The team development as a whole is essential. We must help each other succeed and in doing so help the team succeed. Be courteous to your fellow athletes and an example

So to begin with a hypothetical psychological skills training approach to innovate the team mentally, I immediately started to educate the head coach and captain of the team on the importance of psychological skills and how it may help with the performance of the team. I first needed to find out what is exactly causing the teams negative performance, so I showed the head coach a list of the common team psychological needs that he too might be dealing with. After thoroughly examining the list, he and his assistant coach both agreed that their team lacks team cohesion and leadership. I revisited the book and started the education phase of the benefits of Psychological Skills Training using the information from our book in relation to the coaches and captain

The purpose of this report is to select and present a key concept from the film “Remember the Titans” and discuss its influence on team cohesion. Various scenes were critically reviewed and the psychological concept of coaching was chosen. This report will define what team cohesion is and then explain how the coaching methods of leadership style, task-related behaviour and motivational strategies either facilitate or prevent team cohesiveness. Coaching and cohesion will be examined through a sport psychology perspective and although the film will be referenced throughout the report, relevant theory, research findings and personal reflection will be provided for additional support.

When allowing each group member to see the team’s development one will increase the knowledge of each other. A vigorous working group will create a leader within a team. Any group role one takes is important. However, the role of an effective leader is special and somewhat challenging in a group. The leader role of a team can be given as a title or be earned and the person that is an expert on the subject matter. Regardless of how one got to be a leader, the person will be strategically looking at the glide path of the goal. Mobilizing a team to achieve its goal is somewhat difficult if the leader is not an effective listener, good confident, and has an assertive consistent behavior.

In sports, especially team related sports, there are certain aspects that can help improve team dynamic as well as ultimately improve the team’s performance as a whole. One of those main aspect is called team cohesion. Team cohesion results in teams forming a special bond with one another linking them together as one functioning unit, instead of multiple random moving pieces. (Boundless, 2015). Not only has team cohesion led to better performance and team dynamic, it is also central to higher positive member satisfaction, stronger communication and a firm sense of belonging. This paper will outline how task cohesion, leadership styles, and personal factors

Mr. Hernandez can enhance the group experience even further with his current team, by developing growth and personal well-being of the individuals. This can lead better results and consistent innovative progress. The leader can directly influence other inputs to create conditions for effective teamwork (Hughes, Ginnett, & Curphy, 2012). The leader's job is to create the conditions for the team to be effective. By designing or redesigning input stage variables at the individual, organizational, and team design levels. The support of the team depends on gathering resources and providing recognition. By evaluating the environment through performance indicators and determining its impact on the organization. The key to success is sharing information with the team. By modeling a range of authority behaviors in the early stages effective leaders have laid the groundwork for continuing expectations (Hughes, Ginnett, & Curphy, 2012)

Motivation requires energy, and the manager of a company must be able to communicate with the different diversities within the team and keep the team going down the right path. Statistics say that high-trusted teams created openness and create a positive atmosphere and better performance. Another area that could cause a supervisor to have some issues with a high performance team is to keep the team open-minded. High performance team may run into the process where they are not willing to listen to other team members opinion. This could cause the vision to not be seen or, it can cause the company to not meet the objective because of a close minded mentality. We discussed what areas may require more opportunities for coaching but, what characteristics are good to have when managing a high performance team. In a self managing team, some of the better aspects are that they can do whatever task they are given without the need to have a supervisor looking over them. They do not need to be micromanaged. High performance team can be self motivated do what is needed to complete the project given to them. The team members on this type of team keep everyone responsible, for their part of the vision in the company. The trust that the team members have for each other is what helps create such success. They have specific set knowledge and skills which can be utilized to continually be successful

Everyone has been a part of team at one point in their life. Teams are used all the time. They can be used during school to work on a project, in athletics, or on a job site. What is important to keep in mind when using teams, is there various dynamics that can make a team both succeed or fail. The more complexities that one understands, the more effective they will be at building a team. While a leader builds a team, they will also be faced with many challenges. It is important to keep in mind that the challenges that leaders will face are sometimes out of their control. This paper will instead address a idea that a leader is in complete control of, micromanagement. This paper will also include proven ways of addressing these complexities and challenges by presenting the reader with tips from one of college basketball 's most successful coaches. Building a team is not a simple task, but if done with great care and attention to detail, it can be a very rewarding one.

Two important developments regarding the need for a coaching culture practice at Weatherford International is that beyond developing individual leaders as in-the-moment team coaches, group coaches, and coaching mentors, a coaching based approach should be used as a comprehensive change initiatives (Chao, 2009). Secondly, the coaching and

Effective coaching and team building skills are important in many contexts. Whether discussing a high school soccer team or a team of business executives, many of the same strategies and skills are needed to allow teams to succeed to their highest potential.
