Team Chemistry

This video talks to a couple of volleyball players and the coach of the Tennessee Lady Vols Volleyball team and how they believe that their team chemistry is.
One thing that they talk about is how the team bonded over the summer by playing on summer teams and just getting to know one another over that time.  They would spend a lot of time over the summer together on and off the court which helped out a lot with their team chemistry as well.  When you get to know people off the court it is easier to get along with them when you are on the court because you have a bonding expirence with them.
Another concept that the coach brought up was the teams identity.  Every team wants to be recgonized as a certain type of team, hopefully not to be recgonized as a disorganized team.  The coach talked about how it took some time for everyone to get along or get used to everyone else, but eventually the players knew one another and could count on each other to work as a team.
The last thing that is important to team chemistry is that team bonding experiences.  The last players talks about going on the road and being able to bond with the team.  Team road trips are always the best part of any season because that is when you get to really know your team mates.  When you are on the court you are all equals and should be obeying what coach tells you, but of the court that is when you can be your true self and get to know the real side of people.
