Knowing and Accepting Team Roles – Part 1
Understanding and accepting roles is one of the biggest areas for developing a successful team. The obvious problem with getting individuals to play roles is that certain roles have more outside appeal than others. Who gets the most praise and pats on the back after the games? Too often it is the player who scored the most points, not the one who made the perfect pass or made the painful check. Coach, parent, and player attention to the “glamour” roles is one of the biggest obstacles for getting individuals to accept and embrace less popular roles. However, these roles are absolutely critical to your team’s success.
