The captain had been carefully chosen by the team fellows themselves, and he was most cooperative, friendly and positive on the ground as well as off it. This made him a good leader. The best part of the team was that, all its senior players were supportive and helpful with their juniors and were always eager to listen to them. The team's coach stated few essential components that had contributed to the team's achievement. According to him, the ability to inspire and encourage individuals plays a critical role in the team's achievements more often than the technical skills, and this is what divides a good coach from an average one. The coach also referred to occasions when players went through the period of lack of intrinsic motivation. The coach realized that while there are some players have an instinctive drive to regularly strive for success and enjoy their task, there are others who seem to lack internal motivation and need extrinsic factors like rewards, prize, money etc, to create the required drive or required behavior. The team's psychologist spoke about the aggressive behavior among the team players against the opponents. It was interesting to listen to various occurrences where the players had instigated opponents or charged at them aggressively, in anger, but had later tried to defend their actions. Occasionally, players were found to be abusing opponents not in anger, but to get a benefit or for the sake of winning, though this behavior is not adequate and they were given punishments as per the code of conduct and rules of sports.
