Working Group
Any high performance team starts out as a working team that is made up of a group of people that have to complete a job. In the case of the Killer Bees, it is the players that make up the roster. Once they have been selected to be on the squad, it is the coach's job to assign positions and find out what each player can bring...
Each player is assigned a job or position such as point guard, forward, defense, or offense. The position has a number of requirements that make up to the tasks that are to be performed. The player's job is to learn the skills necessary to do their job or maintain their position.
Potential Team
At this point the Killer Bees could be called a Working Group, since they have their individual assignments that do not require input from other members until they begin to play together. The team then becomes a potential team that is focused on improving their individual 'game' (Energy Team 2004). Strengthening their skills within their personal positions in the game.
The potential team doesn't become a Real Team until there is a common link or goal. This happens by adding the team component of performance. When performance becomes the goal of each individual within the Work Group, then the Coach has the job of defining the goals and how the Work Group needs to…

Basketball Game Coverage Sports If I were to imagine myself as a sports journalist covering a basketball game, I would want to provide coverage for games that take place during "March Madness," a term used to describe a competition among NCAA universities for champion standing. March Madness is an annual event that is as much of a sports tradition as it is a media and journalism tradition. Covering a game in NCAA March

Scully and Noll dispute that the dispersion of victory could be calculated by evaluating the real performance of a group to the performance that would have happen if the group had the greatest degree of competitive equilibrium in the logic that all players were equivalent in playing potency.

Motivate N.B.A basketball players The game of basketball, primarily, involves the continuous struggle of the teams for about 45 minutes in defending their sides, while striking the ball at the demarcated floor, hanging on and throwing efficiently to the basket.
