purpose of social identity in leadership
- social connectedness, personal bonds and affiliation
- enhances team performance and individual performance
athlete leader
a team member acting in a formal or informal capacity, who guides and influences other team members towards a common objective
four functions of leaders on teams
- help accomplish task objectives
- address social needs by promoting team harmony and organizing team activities
- represent team at external functions
- motivate his/her peers
who emerges as a leader?
- highly skilled, veteran, well-liked, intrinsically motivated, and centrally located individuals
- formal role is the most visible
- informal leaders who may provide support, advice and guidance tend to be the best leaders
followership
the way in which followers interact with and response to a leader
- not a leader
factors that make you a productive follower
- a collective orientation
- active independent thinking
- transparency in relationships
- receptivity to others’ viewpoints
exercise leadership

multidimensional characteristic for cohesion
factors that hold groups together are varied and numerous
dynamic characteristic for cohesion
reasons for cohesion can change over time

affective characteristic for cohesion
sometimes groups stay together because there are strong emotional times
conceptual model of group cohesion
- group aspects
- individual aspects
group aspects
beliefs members hold about the group as a collective
individual aspects
beliefs group members hold about personal benefits
conceptual model of group cohesion: group and individual aspects divided into…
task cohesion and social cohesion
correlates of group cohesion
- environmental factors
- team factors
- personal factors
- leadership factors
environmental correlates: group size
- inverse relationship so the smaller group, the greater the level of cohesion
- both sport and exercise
personal correlates: effort and sacrifices

social loafing
when individuals in groups give less than 100% effort
social loafing: increased under what conditions?
- individual output cannot be evaluated
- task perceived as low in meaningfulness
- individual personal involvement is low
- individuals are strangers to each other
- teammates are seen as high ability
- competing against weaker opponent
leadership correlates
transformational leadership/coaching increase cohesion on teams
team correlates: success and efficacy

- teams high in collective efficacy rated task and social cohesion higher than teams lower in collective efficacy
3 contributors to social identity
- ingroup ties (connections and bonds)
- ingroup affect (positive feelings)
- cognitive centrality (importance)
in-group ties: connection and bonds
- creating an environment that is helpful to build positive relationships with peers
- athletes need opportunities to create connections, and feel accepted within a group
in-group affect: positive feelings
if people have positive feelings associated with a particular group or activity, they will want to continue being involved
cognitive centrality: importance of group
groups are important for cognitive and behaviour, and people will try to represent important groups in other aspects of their life
team building: team environment
involves distinctiveness and togetherness
team building: team structure
involves roles, norms and leadership
team building: team processes
involves cooperation, communication and team goals

***less practical in sport and physical education settings
what was proposed by Morgan in 1980
there is an inverse relationship between psychopathology and sport performance
mental health model of sport performance
high performers exhibit an absence of mental illness symptoms and the presence of mental health
the mental health dual continuum model proposes that

golden rule of flow
skill of individual must meet challenge of situation
mental skills
can be taught and learned with well-developed learning progressions and systematic practice repetitions
psychological skills training
a program that consistents of practice of psychological skills and generally has three distinct phases
1. education phase
2. acquisition phase
3. practice phase
education phase
athletes recognize the importance of mental skills and their impact on performance
acquisition phase
athletes acquire various psychological skills and learnt to employ them
practice phase
athletes implement skills in practice and competition
education phase: performance profiling
a method that allows athletes to understand what qualities are needed to be successful in their sport
stages of education phase

- develop individual goals for each segment
problems with mental skill programs
- lack of conviction/time
- belief that they are innate
- lack of sport knowledge
- lack of follow-up
- negative perceptions of sport psychology
the need for physical activity interventions
