Resisting Unnecessary Connections: How Leaders Questioned and Chartered Concentration to Reduce Player Smelts in Mitchells Team

Abstract

This study looks at the ways in which leaders within Mitchells Team resisted unnecessary connections and chartered concentration to reduce player smelts. Drawing on qualitative data from interviews with coaches, team captains, and players, as well as observational data from team practices and games, the analysis reveals that the leaders within the team were able to resist the pressure to connect players who did not work well together and instead focused on building strong connections between those who did. Through intentional team building activities, clear communication, and strategic player placement, the leaders were able to reduce player smelts and improve team cohesiveness. The findings have implications for leadership in sport, highlighting the importance of questioning and challenging traditional practices in order to achieve team success.
