Team Building Challenges/Strategies

- Some of the basketball players where not well behaved when Coach Carter first met them. However, overtime their behaviors changed for the better. Coach Cater was able to gain the trust and the respect from the team players. Carter usually used intimidation as a strategy; he made sure that everyone behaved in a very respectful manner. They were all to respect not just the coach but themselves and each other. This is when they were forced to consider each other by "sir". Coach Carter did not want the team using offensive or profanity, it was not permitted. Coach Carter also made it clear to everyone in the team that they were to arrive to practice on time, and it was better for them if they arrived a few minutes earlier. If the team members were to show attitude or any other unacceptable behaviors, Carter would consequence them by doing either suicides or pushups.
