Introduction

This blog is about team dynamics. I have been apart of many teams, whether it be on school sports teams, club sports team, or working in a group for a school project, and with all of them you must have team dynamics if you want to get anything done. Basically teams are any group of people work towards a similar goal, the dynamics of the group is how they will accomplish those goals.

In this blog I will touch base with some aspects of team dynamics including team chemistry, roles of players, communication, and much more. The post will come from different sorces, and I will be posting different articles that I find interesting, that relate to the above topics, along with my own opinion on the topics as well.

I hope to bring my own experiences within team dynamics to whomever reads this blog. I also hope to get insight on how others view teams and those teams accomplishing their goals at the end of a season.

Team Leaders

http://rise.espn.go.com/all-sports-girls/articles/2011/05/02-cc-kaitlen-goddard.aspx

This article talks about the importance of the team captain and how they handle situations.  In the text it talks about how there are certain situations that as the team captain they can handle as a team, and at other times the captain needs to bring in a coach.  According to Jeff Janssen, the team captain needs to be a connector, they need to bring together the team as a whole to get to their final goal.  If the team is not connected by something or someone there will be a lot of chaos and discommunication, and nothing will be done correctly.

The article talks about how at times the captain will try to solve problems with in the team that are not to serious, but once they get to where it is affecting the whole team and she cannot solve it herself she gets a coach involved.  It is good to know that she knows her limits as a captain, and when to involve her coach.  The coach should be involved in knowing what is going on with their team.  If the team is doing poorly because of an argument or personality clashes within the team, they should be notified so that they can help solve the problem.
