All Together: A Novel Approach to Understanding the Interpersonal Dynamics of Teamwork in Sport
How well does your team work together? And how could you improve their teamwork as a coach? We are currently recruiting sport teams from the Lower Mainland and Victoria regions to participate in a study where we’ll ask players (16 years or older) to complete a survey on two occasions. As part of the study, we will provide coaches with feedback on how the team scored on five aspects of teamwork along with evidence-based strategies that could be used to improve teamwork. Please contact Stef or Kieran if you want to learn more.
Recruiting: Yes
Principal Investigator: Dr. Desmond McEwan
Contacts: Stef Atkinson (for teams in Lower Mainland) or Kieran McBride (for teams in Victoria region)
