WHAT: In the article selected for the blog “Sport Education” it is explained what it Is and how does It work. It is a type of special, authentic education that is based on sports experiences and works cooperatively, in small groups and peers.
SO WHAT: When we see that a sports team triumphs, we think that there was lucky or that they are only good players. But in reality, this is not what happens. Behind a good and successful team there is an adequate education, a good work environment and a great motivation. When we talk about education, we mean acquiring the necessary values, such as respect, responsibility, dedication, cooperation, etc; and differents skills for comunication. All these elements are important, because if one of these fails, a bad working environment is generated inside the team. The trust is lost among the team members, which leads to not achieving the objectives, and therefore being an unsuccessful team. Another important factor is motivation. Without motivation it is difficult for the team to function properly, as explained in Brand Extensions.
NOW WHAT: As a future agronomic engineer, learning these concepts is very useful, because at present, most of the works in this area are in multidisciplinary teams, where trust is one of the most important values to have as a team member. Working with respect and compromise make the work environment optimal, being able to carry out the mains goals. In addition, the possibility of working in teams is very useful to increase the cognitive senses, helping the team with the maximum of oneself, as would any educated member of a sports team.
