QUESTION 1
1.1. Identification of the Main Challenge
The main challenge faced by the Vodacom Bulls is a breakdown in team cohesion,
particularly in communication and unity. Although the team has achieved success against
strong opponents, the persistent lack of communication, avoidance of open dialogue, and
interpersonal conflicts indicate low levels of social cohesion. According to Williams and
Krane (2020), cohesion involves the group’s ability to stay united in pursuit of common goals
and emotional needs. Without open communication and mutual trust, team members fail to
connect meaningfully, undermining both performance and morale. The coach’s concern
highlights how these issues can disrupt group functioning over time.
1.2. Importance of the Challenge in Sport
Team cohesion is a critical component in sport because it significantly influences
performance, motivation, and the psychological well-being of athletes.
