How teams work in Sport and Exercise Psychology
This volume focuses on teamwork within sport and exercise, however its relevance is much broader as a means of improving effectiveness in all kinds of organisations.

This is the third volume in the series of workshop proceedings by the British Psychological Society's Sport and Exercise Psychology Section. The subject of How Teams Work is particularly topical because working in teams is now often recommended as a means of improving effectiveness in all kinds of organisations. Although this volume deals mainly with teamwork as applied to sport and exercise, where there is a strong tradition of structure and function, its relevance is much broader and illustrates what teams can and cannot achieve, where difficulties are liable to crop up and how they can be met. Theoretical models of team behaviour are discussed and exploited, and ways and means of creating successful teams are described with real life samples.
