Assignment: Army Crew Team Case Questions
1. Why does the Varsity team lose to the JV Team?
The reason that the Varsity team lost to the Junior Varsity team is the lack of working together as a team. Even though the varsity team had good speed, strength, coordination, they lack the cohesive to perform as a team. The team also had no team leader; they also had attuned toward each other that interference with their rowing and performance. As the teams continue to lose, so did the team spirit. Rowers internalized their feelings only to lose trust, respect, and confidence in each other. Their personalities began to clash making it more difficult to work together as a team. Instead of accepting their own mistakes they started blaming each other, which only lessening their chances of winning.
2. What should Coach P. have done differently earlier in the season to resolve this problem? At exactly what point should he have intervened differently?
Coach P. should have look at booth team when selecting the rowers (personality types and traits to see if they were leaders or follower etc.) as well as the physical aspects (strength, speed, coordination etc) of each team member. The co9ach should have observed each rower individual to see how well they respond and perform to one another in different situations when i8t come to team work. For example putting the rowers in total control of the team dynamics is the best hand on lesson they could ever experience. This will have allowed the rowers a deeper understanding of what it takes to be a winner. What good is it to have the strongest and fastest team if the team is not willing to work together in corporation and using their skills, abilities and talents to their best possible advantage. Experimenting would eventually uncover the leaders from the followers to the doers and the disruptors.
