Question

Jessie just became the team captain of the junior varsity basketball team. Last year, they lost every game they played. The girls constantly gossip about each other. Now, Chrissy, one of their best players, is saying that if she doesn’t get the most shots, she is going to quit the team. In at least three complete sentences, describe what you would do to try and fix this team. Be sure to reference what you learned in this lesson.

Answer 1

(I don’t know what you learned in the lesson so I will try my best)
I would fix the fact that they don’t have am chemistry off the court. They need to stop gossiping about each, and that’s the first thing. Once they have bonded well off the court, their relationship on the court should improve (and you need to work hard at practice).

Answer 2

The first thing I would try to fix is the fact that the girls seem to dislike each other. This most likely translates into bad team-work. It is unlikely that the team will be able to play well unless their personal issues are fixed. The second factor that seems to affect them greatly is the fact that they play as individuals. This is evident from the fact that Chrissy is only thinking about the shots that she will be able to get. Improving their personal relations and reminding them that they are a team will most likely fix these issues.
