should teach according to the characteristics of different team members and flexibly change their leadership styles according to their aptitude;(2)Set clear goals for the team,such as academic and competitive performance,to encourage athletes to move in the same direction and enhance team task cohesion;(3)Pay attention to the psychological changes of the players,communicate with the players through interviews and other forms,and fully understand the learning and training life of the players.In addition to providing guidance during training competitions,they should also be given more help in their daily lives.Increase team activities appropriately to create a more relaxed atmosphere,narrow the distance between coaches and athletes,enhance friendship between athletes,and enhance team social cohesion;(4)Develop team code of conduct,including conduct and actions,learning and daily training,to ensure that team members are disciplined and treat every player fairly;(5)Senior and high-level basketball players have a high level of team cohesion,allowing them to participate more in team affairs as much as possible,carrying forward the tradition of "old leading new",and allowing old players to actively help new players solve problems encountered in training,competition,and learning life,so that new players can quickly integrate into the team family.
