Impact of Team Cohesion on performance among Tunisian Women Soccer Players

Group cohesion is a dynamic process where the group tends to remain together and united in the pursuit of its goal for the satisfaction of the affective needs of group members (Paskevich, Estabrooks, Brawley, and Carron, 2001). Team cohesion exists where players are united in a common purpose (Cashmore, 2002). Athletes often spend time together or share common interests outside of their chosen sport. A challenge to any team is the maintenance of the team, rather than focusing on the individual. Our Study aims to identify the relationship between sport cohesion and performance among Tunisian women football players. Our results have shown a significant impact of team cohesion on the football performance.
