Zašto najbolji igrači ne čine uvek najbolji timIntroductionUvod

Why the Best Players Don't Always Make the Best Team

Many people believe that having the best players guarantees you will have the best team.

Mnogi ljudi veruju da posedovanje najboljih igrača garantuje da ćete imati najbolji tim.

Of course, this might be true in some situations.

Naravno, ovo može biti istina u nekim situacijama.

However, throughout history, we have seen many "upsets" where the favorite team lost.

Međutim, kroz istoriju smo videli mnoga "iznenađenja" gde je favorit izgubio.

This means that simply adding up the skills of individual players does not equal success.

To znači da jednostavno sabiranje veština pojedinačnih igrača nije jednako uspehu.

Defining Teamwork

Definisanje timskog rada

It is rare to find a team that works together perfectly to use everyone’s talent.

Retko je naći tim koji savršeno radi zajedno kako bi iskoristio talenat svakog pojedinca.

Teamwork means achieving something together that we could not achieve alone.

Timski rad znači postizanje nečega zajedno što ne bismo mogli postići sami.

A team is a group of people working towards the same goal.

Tim je grupa ljudi koja radi ka istom cilju.

To succeed, they must cooperate and collaborate.

Da bi uspeli, moraju da sarađuju i rade zajedno.

The Challenge of Human Nature

Izazov ljudske prirode

It is actually very hard to get people to work together selflessly.

Zapravo je veoma teško navesti ljude da rade zajedno nesebično.

Every person has their own motivation and goals.

Svaka osoba ima svoju motivaciju i ciljeve.

That is why watching a truly successful team is so special.

Zato je gledanje zaista uspešnog tima tako posebno.

Real teamwork requires good communication and accepting a common purpose.

Pravi timski rad zahteva dobru komunikaciju i prihvatanje zajedničke svrhe.

Often, teams actually perform worse than the sum of their individual parts.

Često timovi zapravo postižu gore rezultate nego što je zbir njihovih pojedinačnih delova.

The Ringelmann Effect (Social Loafing)

Ringelmanov efekat (Društveno zabušavanje)

There is a psychological reason why groups often fail to reach their potential.

Postoji psihološki razlog zašto grupe često ne uspeju da dostignu svoj potencijal.

This is called the Ringelmann effect.

To se zove Ringelmanov efekat.

This theory states that as a group gets bigger, individual effort goes down.

Ova teorija kaže da kako grupa postaje veća, pojedinačni trud opada.

Simply put, people do not try as hard when they are working in a group.

Jednostavno rečeno, ljudi se ne trude toliko jako kada rade u grupi.

Researchers call this "social loafing."

Istraživači ovo nazivaju "društveno zabušavanje."

The Role of the Coach

Uloga trenera

The job of a coach is to make players give 100% effort for the team.

Posao trenera je da natera igrače da daju 100% truda za tim.

Great leaders can inspire players to do even better than they thought possible.

Veliki lideri mogu inspirisati igrače da budu još bolji nego što su mislili da je moguće.

There are two ways to change behavior: manipulation or inspiration.

Postoje dva načina da se promeni ponašanje: manipulacija ili inspiracija.

When a coach builds trust and friendship, players are inspired to win.

Kada trener izgradi poverenje i prijateljstvo, igrači su inspirisani da pobede.

Analyzing Success

Analiza uspeha

It is better to study what successful teams do right, rather than what bad teams do wrong.

Bolje je proučavati šta uspešni timovi rade dobro, nego šta loši timovi rade pogrešno.

If a team fails, we need to find the root cause, perhaps using the "5 Whys" technique from Toyota.

Ako tim ne uspe, moramo pronaći glavni uzrok, možda koristeći tehniku "5 zašto" iz Tojote.

But success is found in following the correct steps.

Ali uspeh se nalazi u praćenju ispravnih koraka.

The Example of Rowing

Primer veslanja

Rowing is a perfect example of overcoming individual ego.

Veslanje je savršen primer prevazilaženja individualnog ega.

When eight rowers move in perfect harmony, it is called "the swing."

Kada se osam veslača kreće u savršenoj harmoniji, to se zove "zaveslaj" (swing).

It is a magical feeling where the boat moves effortlessly.

To je magičan osećaj gde se čamac kreće bez napora.

This requires total trust and balance between teammates.

Ovo zahteva potpuno poverenje i ravnotežu između saigrača.

Urban Meyer, a famous coach, says that trust is the most essential ingredient for elite results.

Urban Majer, poznati trener, kaže da je poverenje najvažniji sastojak za vrhunske rezultate.

The Problem with "Too Much Talent"

Problem sa "previše talenta"

Sometimes, players focus too much on their own role and fame.

Ponekad se igrači previše fokusiraju na svoju ulogu i slavu.

This pursuit of individual success can hurt the team.

Ova potraga za individualnim uspehom može naškoditi timu.

Studies show that in some sports, having too many star players is actually bad.

Studije pokazuju da je u nekim sportovima posedovanje previše zvezda zapravo loše.

In basketball and soccer, too much talent can hurt team strategy.

U košarci i fudbalu, previše talenta može naškoditi strategiji tima.

Players might fight for status instead of passing the ball or defending.

Igrači se mogu boriti za status umesto da dodaju loptu ili igraju odbranu.

Teams with the most elite players often win fewer games than teams with a mix of players.

Timovi sa najviše elitnih igrača često pobeđuju u manje utakmica nego timovi sa mešavinom igrača.

They have fewer assists and play less collaboratively.

Imaju manje asistencija i igraju manje timski.

Conclusion

Zaključak

In baseball, individual talent matters more, so having many stars is okay.

U bejzbolu je individualni talenat važniji, pa je u redu imati mnogo zvezda.

But in sports that need coordination, teamwork is more important than talent.

Ali u sportovima koji zahtevaju koordinaciju, timski rad je važniji od talenta.

As the old saying goes: "A champion team will defeat a team of champions."

Kao što stara izreka kaže: "Šampionski tim će pobediti tim šampiona."

Topic: Teamwork vs. Individual Talent

Tema: Timski rad naspram individualnog talenta

Student: Good morning, Professor. Do you have a moment to discuss my essay?Student: Dobro jutro, profesore. Imate li trenutak da razgovaramo o mom eseju?

Professor: Good morning, Marko. Of course. What is your question?

Professor: Dobro jutro, Marko. Naravno. Koje je tvoje pitanje?

Student: I am writing about whether the best players make the best team.

Student: Pišem o tome da li najbolji igrači čine najbolji tim.

Student: Ideally, having star players should guarantee a win, right?

Student: Idealno, posedovanje zvezda bi trebalo da garantuje pobedu, zar ne?

Professor: Many people think so, but history shows us many "upsets."

Professor: Mnogi ljudi tako misle, ali istorija nam pokazuje mnoga "iznenađenja."

Professor: Often, the team with the best individual players loses.

Professor: Često tim sa najboljim pojedinačnim igračima gubi.

Student: Is that because they don't work well together?

Student: Da li je to zato što ne rade dobro zajedno?

Professor: Exactly. Have you read about the Ringelmann effect?

Professor: Tačno. Da li si čitao o Ringelmanovom efektu?

Student: Yes, it says that people work less hard when they are in a group.

Student: Da, kaže da se ljudi manje trude kada su u grupi.

Student: Researchers call this "social loafing."

Student: Istraživači ovo nazivaju "društveno zabušavanje."

Professor: Correct. People rely on others to do the work.

Professor: Tačno. Ljudi se oslanjaju na druge da urade posao.

Professor: So, a coach must inspire them to give 100 percent.

Professor: Dakle, trener mora da ih inspiriše da daju 100 posto.

Student: I used the example of rowing in my paper.

Student: Koristio sam primer veslanja u svom radu.

Student: When they move in perfect harmony, it is called "the swing."

Student: Kada se kreću u savršenoj harmoniji, to se zove "zaveslaj" (swing).

Professor: That is a great example. Rowing requires total trust.

Professor: To je odličan primer. Veslanje zahteva potpuno poverenje.

Professor: But what happens in sports like basketball or soccer?

Professor: Ali šta se dešava u sportovima kao što su košarka ili fudbal?

Student: Studies show that having too many stars can be bad.

Student: Studije pokazuju da posedovanje previše zvezda može biti loše.

Student: They might fight for the ball to get personal glory.

Student: Mogli bi se boriti za loptu da bi dobili ličnu slavu.

Professor: Yes, they compete for status instead of playing as a unit.

Professor: Da, oni se takmiče za status umesto da igraju kao celina.

Professor: This hurts the team's strategy.

Professor: Ovo škodi strategiji tima.

Student: However, in baseball, individual talent is more important, right?

Student: Međutim, u bejzbolu je individualni talenat važniji, zar ne?

Professor: That is true. Baseball depends less on coordination between players.

Professor: To je tačno. Bejzbol manje zavisi od koordinacije između igrača.

Student: So, for most team sports, trust and cooperation are the key.

Student: Dakle, za većinu timskih sportova, poverenje i saradnja su ključ.

Professor: Precisely. Remember the famous quote?

Professor: Upravo tako. Sećaš li se poznatog citata?

Student: Yes: "A champion team will defeat a team of champions."

Student: Da: "Šampionski tim će pobediti tim šampiona."

Professor: Perfect. It sounds like you understand the concept well.

Professor: Savršeno. Zvuči kao da dobro razumeš koncept.
