Ruth Anna Abigail. Dudley D. Cahn

performances.

8. Are four different ways of communicating toward others.
1) Nonassertive- avoid a conflict altogether, or accommodate.
2) Passive-aggressive- impose one‟s will on others in a „nice way‟ (ex.
Backstabbing)
3) Assertive- ability to speak up for one‟s interests in a way that does not
interfere with someone else
4) Aggressive- ability to force one‟s will
9.
10. The S-TLC Approach system is an acronym for Stop, Think, Listen, and
Communication.
Step 1: Stop- When a conflict has arrived, start by saying “Stop!” Do not
become angry, simply cool down and approach the girls appropriately.
Step 2: Think- Think before you approach the team. Think about the
goals and desires of the team and go from there.
Step 3: Listen- Listen to each compelling argument and decide what
assertive communication tactic that should be used. The ability to truly
hear and catch the problem is key to solving it.
Step 4: Communicate- Once you have identified what the conflict is and
who to resolve it, it becomes really important to stay calm and respond
in a non-destructive way.

12. Within a squad, there is always a captain that is chosen to lead the team.
At times, captains can take advantage of their roll and abuse the power
they have.
-Power Abuse: When the power one holds over another or a
group is threatening and harmful to an
arising conflict.
When the captain is in the process of power abuse, threats can be made.
-Threats- Statements that link the other person‟s noncompliance
with negative outcomes
13. • Create a list of punishments
-run, sit-ups, cardio, parent
signatures, write an essay.
• Bench during games
• Take out of competition routine
• Take position away from captain
• Subtract points from grade
• Not allowed to participate in
bonding activities
• Remove from squad
14. • Instrumental/task conflict- This kind of conflict occurs when the captain
argues with the team and or coach on how to get the job
done.
• Relationship Conflict- This conflict is mainly produced by stress from the team. (ex,
competition approaching, performance at school, making
grades, etc.)
• Identity Conflict- occurs when the team treats an individual contrary to the way that
person sees him/her.
• Process Conflict- this has to do with disagreements over the management style of the
group.
15.
16. • You are more likely to have a positive outcome in a conflict when you
approach it with creativity.
• The use of creative methods can bring laughter to the team.
• The team grasps a better understanding of why we should do one thing
one way and another the other way.
• Creativity can ease a lot of tension between the girls, captain, and coach.
