Dimensions of Team Effectiveness: Towards an Improved Team-Building Program for Beginning Athletes

Abstract

Many coaches use engaging team activities at the beginning of training to help players or athletes understand each other, but team-building activities can help with a sense of accomplishment among team members. That is why coaches use group work by adopting multiple strategies and methods (such as team building) even in any sporting event. These activities help, athletes understand each other, develop sports skills, social skills, listen carefully to instructions, cooperate with each other, and feel more comfortable in the team. Building a team in any sports group creates a sense of community and connection, making each, athlete's game easier and more fun. Coaches who want to join team building activities in teams will find it easy to get many different sources of ideas and technology. Lumsden (2018) found that "when a healthy environment exists and morale is high, athletes feel good about each other and feel fulfilled from the performance of their heirs." To make the team successful requires more than one individual athlete working for his or her teammates' goals. This requires a team of athletes and even coaches working together to accomplish many of the tasks of the team. Sports teams may commit to venue-based decision making, sports improvement programs and curriculum reform, implementing new programs or restructure existing plans.
