When a little man is born, we certainly give him a name. And we take his choice very scrupulously and approach this issue with all responsibility: we consult with close people, coordinate the name with the middle name, read the interpretation of the names and look at various forums and blogs of young parents.
Why is it extremely important to choose the team name for sports competitions correctly and correctly?
The behavior described above is justified, because a small child is incredibly important for parents, and it is natural that they want to give him all the best, including a name. It is not in vain that there is a saying: “As you call a ship, it will sail.” The last lines refer not only to the person’s name, but also to all other names of objects and living beings. Athletes are rather superstitious people, and the name of sports teams for them is the beginning of their beginnings.
Which team name is best to immediately exclude from possible options?
1. Do not use words, values and beliefs that are hostile, calls for violence, incline to dishonest and unprofessional sports in the title. This is especially true for the younger generation, which psychologically negatively affects the names of children's sports teams. After all, everyone knows that the children's psyche is not yet sufficiently strengthened, and it is more susceptible to negative calls than to positive ones. The name should be based on universal values, to educate in the young generation such qualities of character that are worth it to be called a man with a capital letter.
2. Categorically it is impossible to choose a name by quarrels and conflicts! Each team member is valuable and important. Without him, this will be another team. How to call a sports team, you need to decide only together and unanimously. If this does not work out, then you can do it by drawing lots, in which all the proposed options will participate. But in no case can anyone be deprived of the right to choose the name of the team for which he will strive to win. A name that the participant did not choose and which he does not like at the psychological level will be an obstacle to the full disclosure of his abilities.
What you should pay attention to
It is undesirable to choose the name of sports teams very close to the already different name of the existing team. You most likely understand why. This team already has a certain reputation, and whatever it is, it will not play into your hands. There will be prejudice, albeit unconscious. After all, if the reputation of other players with the same name is good, then they will subconsciously wait for the appropriate level from your team. And if it’s bad, then the newly created team will inadvertently be associated with poor results and lack of professionalism. And new players certainly do not need this!
What factors can be relied on when choosing the name of sports teams?
1. You can associate a team name with a geographical location and location. Linking to the area will make it possible to glorify your land and the people living in it. In addition, if the area is well known, why not take advantage of this? After all, the reputation of a famous city will ensure that your name will be remembered by countrymen and fans of the city. And if the results of the competition turn out to be high, then all the other supporters of this sport will be well known. The name of sports school teams can also be included here, because linking to a well-established educational institution already enhances the team's reputation.
2. It is important to consider the type and style of sports. For example, football teams will not fit names from the field of sports ballroom dancing groups . Here you can focus on the strong, outstanding and individual features of the sport.
3. Physiological characteristics of team members can serve as a qualifier for names. Factors such as gender and age can significantly change the perception of the team both positively and negatively. A typical example is the name of sports teams for preschoolers. A team of children 4-6 years old with an adult defiant name will not be perceived at the proper level. The discrepancy between the name of reality in the eyes of the fans becomes absurd and, accordingly, develops a negative and distrustful attitude towards the team.
4. A good trump card, frightening opponents, can be an emphasis on the strong and general character traits of team members. After all, who dares to cope with a flock of wolves or tigers, whose traits are unity, incredible endurance and stay always in the role of hunters.
Professionals and lovers
With special attention it is worth approaching, choosing the name of the team for sports competitions. Despite the fact that sports competitions are of different levels, I want to win at any of them. Therefore, if a team follows the path of professional development and enters into competition with other professionals, it is important, in addition to the above factors, that the name be sonorous, because it will often be mentioned as the team develops. The name should be engraved in memory as if by itself and carry a shade of something pleasant and powerful.
Should I rename a team if it does not meet expectations?
This practice undoubtedly exists. But it happened rather because the choice of the name was not given enough attention and not everything was taken into account. Worth it or not, it’s impossible to say for sure. But the fact that a name change can fundamentally change the fate of the team is a fact. The new name gives you a chance to look at your strengths in a different way, to rethink the values of the team. However, the failure of the team does not mean that the name is bad. It can be very well chosen, but the internal perception of the team members themselves and each other dramatically affects the development and success of the team. It’s not in vain that they say: “It’s not a person’s place that colors, but a person’s place”
Why do many sports teams, having decent names, do not succeed?
It is worth remembering that the name carries a certain semantic load, the quintessence of all the best that can be inherent in this team. If the name of the sports teams is chosen wisely and correctly, then it remains only to match this name. Each member of the team should not only know the name, but also feel it. Understanding the strengths of the team, including its own, a person knows how to use them to achieve maximum results. Awareness is half the way to success. After that, it is only up to action. After all, success comes from within a person, and not from without.
