These types of problems within a sports team are prevalent all over the world. The language barrier and the integration of different cultures in this situation created a negative tension that divided the team. Many players and coaches on the team do not know how to work as a team with a new member from different upbringings and traditions as to how to work in a sports team such as football. The practices are different. Communication was minimized, creating a disruption of teamwork in a sport where talking...... middle of paper ... is what led her to this coaching position. Become more involved with the players and show them that female leadership is the same as what a man can do over time to create bonds between the team and its players and build a relationship between the player and the coach which will result in more organized practices and better skills.
