Leadership is an interpersonal skill I demonstrated during our game of basketball. Leadership wasn't a hard skill I had to demonstrate because as the team trainer it was part of my requirements to demonstrate this skill. Leadership isn't only telling people what to do but also being organised.
For example, turning up to our PE class on time with full PE gear and a positive attitude. To treat others and everyone fairly is a leaders responsibility to accomplish. An example for this is by letting the girls have a go with the ball not only the boys and also giving everyone the opportunity to let everyone have a go at trying to help the team win.
Communication, management and motivation are all key concept that a leader should show. Through out the game of basketball I identified leadership skills from most players of each team. Through this gave a positive affect of how the team players played. With leadership roles being exposed players were feeling more confident to try different moves, to risk things and to challenge themselves.
The effect this had on my team was they knew who to go to if they were confused because they knew they will be informed with understanding with what the problem was. Having a leader in the team is a smart way to keep the team together because they have someone to look up to. Without a leader I think team players will argue over what is right and wrong in the way the team was performing but if there was a leader they know who's right or is more likely to agree upon.
I can improve this interpersonal skill by making sure players are listening to what is being said, more players demonstrating this skill and to not put team players down.
