Most of this work seems to be done in a reactive fashion. I would switch the focus on proactivity. Get to know the psychology, behavior, and culture of each of your athletes to proactively intervene on their conflict resolution skills. Conflicts are sometimes unavoidable, but you can be prepared to handle them with the proper trainings. You can work on the mind as much as you can work on physical performance.

Managing team clashes in a critical match requires quick, decisive action to maintain focus. Encourage players to channel energy into teamwork by setting clear, immediate goals. For example, if two players argue over seaters , pause briefly, remind them of shared objectives, and ask them to support each other on the next chance. You have to reinforce positive contributions to shift focus from competition to collaboration .
