ABSTRACT:
In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 expert Canadian ice hockey and basketball coaches regarding the nature of team building strategies used throughout each season. Team building was a complex higher order knowledge category than encompassed more than the simple mechanics of assembling a team. The process was described by coaches as a continuous cycle where team building components were introduced temporally during the pre, early, mid, late, and post season. During the pre-season, athletes were selected by consideration of physical attributes and attitudes compatible with their coaches. Then, in the early season, coaches began communicating their team vision, having athletes buy into team goals, and then refining team members accordingly. Later, during the mid-season, coaches focused on formalizing their teams' performances for late season tournaments. Finally, based on varying performance results, the coaches refined their team building strategies. For these expert coaches, successful performance was a by-product achieved only after meeting the objectives set out in earlier phases.
