An Analysis of Individuals' Perception Towards Team Grit
Abstract
Throughout a regular season, there is no doubt that sports teams experience setbacks. Overcoming these setbacks and remaining mentally and physically focused on the championship requires grit; not only in each individual, but the team as a whole. In order to analyze grit at a team or organizational level, this study will focus on analyzing individuals perceptions of their own teams grit. It will examine three NCAA Division One Athletic teams in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. The teams include a mix of men's and women's varsity sports, in order to gain diversity of perspectives. The focus groups use an interview guide for all three sports teams. Data analysis will occur using a variety of qualitative coding techniques that will be grouped into themes for each case and across all three cases to answer our research question. This study will further our understanding of team grit by gathering individuals perceptions of their team dynamics, which will contribute to the research of grit at a higher level of analysis.
