It is a game that involves many aspects of the human body physically and psychologically. The game involves not one but eleven players on the field for each side.

This caused friction and discourse in the player and coaching environment with even fights breaking out. The Titans had to overcome these challenges and learn to work together as a team, regardless of their race. Through his leadership and guidance, Coach Boone succeeded in uniting the team and instilling a sense of discipline and respect. This was demonstrated throughout the film through two main players on the team, Julius Campbell and Gerry Bertier.

INTRO A variety of leadership styles were displayed within the film, Remember the Titans, and it was apparent that transformational and servant leadership were the most effective styles of eliminating discrimination and encouraging growth as a team. Nevertheless, the film was a wonderful example of Tuckman’s (Tuckman's Theory: Five Stages of Team Development, 2021) theory: Five Stages of Team Development which is important to capturing the concepts and the functionality of servant leadership. COACH BOONE AND YOATS LEADERSHIP Coach Boone’s mixed leadership style was effective in not only creating a cohesive team, but working through and overcoming prejudice from the players and the town. He was authoritative and disciplined in what he believed

One of the many benefits of the middle school model is that being part of a team forms a bond between the teachers and students. “The team and their students truly become a community of learners.” (Kellough & Kellough, 2008, pg 8) In order for a team to be successful teams must provide tools to help students grow. (Erb, T. O, 2006, pg 5)

Henri Tajfel (1979) anticipated that the “groups which people belonged to were an important source of pride and self-esteem. Groups give us a sense of social identity: a sense of belonging to the social world.” (McLeod, Social Identity Theory, 2008) Remember the Titans (2000) is an American sports drama film produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Boaz Yakin. It is a true story which started with the integration of black and white students at T.C. Williams High School in Virginia. However further problems emerge as with tensions high, the well known and loved head coach at the school, Bill Yoast, is replaced by a new black coach, Herman Boone.

In the film Remember the Titans, racial prejudice and stereotypes are evident throughout. At the start of the movie we are taken back to 1971 where we are introduced to the town of Alexandria in Virginia and the new high school that resides in it, as two schools recently combined to form one desegregated student body called T.C. Williams High School. Football is an immense part of this town and for the people residing there. Shortly into the film, head football Coach Bill Yoast, nominee for the Virginia High School Hall of Fame, is demoted to assistant football coach and the school board hires an African American man by the name of Herman Boone to take his place. This starts an uproar in the Alexandria community as desegregation hadn't been

The group development in Remember the Titans is not an ordinary group development that is usually connected in today's society. Of Course, this movie is based on the 1970s and discrimination and racial equality is extremely different, but the theories played throughout the movie still hold upon today. Throughout the course of the movie, the community, school and football team of T.C. Williams definitely goes through and touches through stage two/ three of group development which is getting to know each other more. During camp, all-star player/all American, Gerry Bertier makes the whole team no matter the color, that he is the captain and makes the decisions on the team. Little does Gerry, know that Julius Campbell is a leader too, making

Remember the Titans Film Review Remember the Titans is a classic movie based on a true story based in 1971 Alexandria, Virginia; about the struggles this newly integrated high school football team endure. This movie portrays many leadership themes throughout the movie; authentic, situational, and path-goal. (AUTHENTIC) One player who quickly emerges as a leader is Gerry Bertier; standing out for his personality and traits. He is team captain, passionate about everything he does and wants the best for not only the team as a whole but also the players as individuals.

The desire to win in leadership sets a context where true beneficial aspects and lessons are learnt and taught. The lessons cover ethical principles and aspects of responsibility, respect, caring, fairness, and trustworthiness. These styles are based on the film Remember the Titans.’ The backdrop in the film presents itself in football and racism which are the aspects that clash with the leadership styles. Coach Herman Boone’s leadership styles manifest themselves based on his upbringing which provides a tough exterior.

Have you ever felt like you don't belong even though it's where you are supposed to be? In the film Remember the Titans the director Boaz Yakin’s shows how the football team felt that same way. Yakins showed how they got over it throughout coming together to build a community, through unity, acceptance, and through self-fulfillment. When the titans built their sense of community all the team players showed a different side to the other teammates, as the team was becoming more accepted and the team started to feel self-fulfilled. With the Titans working on coming together during training camp a sense of community is already being established as the team must find a way to work together.

But with the help of Coach Boone and the other assistant coaches, the football players realize that hard work and dedication will help change their moral and values in life. Remember the Titans uses sports gerund to illustrate the change of integration and how the football players overcame racism and

In order to run a successful organization, especially a good standing Army, there needs to be quality leaders within the organization. Leaders are artists, remaining flexible and adaptable in order to conform to any certain situation. In FM 6-22, leadership is defined as, “the process of influencing people by providing purpose, direction, and motivation while operating to accomplish the mission and improve the organization”. The vast majority of successful Army leaders exemplify this definition in their everyday life. So, what exactly does this process involve?

There are many ways in which group dynamics resonate in this film. Group work can foster connections and provide an opportunity /for group members to feel bonded. The Titans football team is a task group; the ultimate role of the group is to have the players come together as one unit. However, there are critical group dynamics that threaten the team’s ability to function properly.

Unity is the act of joining to create a whole; This is the most important concept in this movie. To achieve everything that the Titans football team accomplished, all of the players had to unite. Whether they liked it or not, uniting and respecting each other was crucial in order to achieve success, especially since teamwork is necessary in football to coordinate and communicate with each other. Near the beginning of the film, Head Coach Boone says the same thing to his summer football camp on the field of Gettysburg: "I don't care if you like it or not, but you will respect each other, and maybe we'll learn to play this game like men." After this lecture, most of the athletes started making an attempt at cooperating, and their games gradually improved.

Sports leaders have position power over all players. However, the role of a sports leader is much more encompassing than being a good judge of a player’s ability. This implies that a leader should treat each player with the respect he/she deserves. Moreover, different leadership techniques apply to different players. As is the case with workers of varying strengths and weaknesses, sports leaders also need to flex their leadership style and practice the teachings of situational leadership.
