ÉDIMBOURG –(ECO) de notre envoyé spécial DEPUIS LEUR PREMIÈRE visite, en 1905, en 25 rencontres, les Néo- Zélandais n’ont jamais perdu face à l’Écosse. Toujours aucune victoire, donc, du quinze du Chardon, tout juste deux matches nuls à inscrire au palmarès des Écossais (0-0 en 1964, 25-25 en 1983) et, aujourd’hui à Murrayfield, face au grand favori du Mondial, on voit mal comment les hommes des hautes terres pourraient inverser cette tendance séculaire. C’est sans doute un détail qui a pesé de tout son poids dans la réflexion de Frank Hadden, l’entraîneur de la sélection écossaise, qui a choisi d’aligner ses réservistes face aux All Blacks. Qu’on le veuille ou non, la formation qui affrontera l’épou- vantail néo-zélandais ne ressemble en rien à celle qui disputera l’ultime match, face à l’Italie, à Saint- Étienne samedi prochain, qui déci- dera du second quart-finaliste de cette poule C. Avec 13 change- ments par rapport à l’équipe type qui débuta contre la Roumanie mar- di(42-0), avec deuxjoueurs (le pilier gauche Alasdair Dickinson et le troi- sième-ligne aile John Barclay) qui honoreront leur première sélection internationale et avec les cadres Jason White, Nathan Hines, Rory Lamont et Simon Taylor en cos- tume-cravate dans les tribunes, les Écossais ont clairement décidé de fairel’impasse surla rencontre de ce jour. Pragmatisme d’un entraîneur sou- cieux de limiter les dégâts en vue d’une éventuelle qualification face à l’Italie ? Ou cynisme d’un rugby professionnel qui vide cet Écosse - Nouvelle-Zélande de tout son Noir Bleu sens ? C’est selon.

  • Leadership As Communicative Practice: the Discursive Construction of Leadership and Team Identity in a New Zealand Rugby Team
    Leadership as Communicative Practice: The discursive construction of leadership and team identity in a New Zealand rugby team by Nicholas Andrew Wilson A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2011 ii Abstract In sports teams, the way in which leaders such as coaches and captains communicate with players is vital to the success of the team. However, despite extensive psychological and sociological research on sport, it has rarely been a site of linguistic research. Like many sports, rugby has many traditions and ideologies that influence the way in which teams form identities. This thesis explores the way in which leadership is enacted and group identity forged through communicative practice in a New Zealand rugby team. Using authentic interactions collected using an ethnographic methodology, an analysis is presented of how discourse strategies are negotiated within the team, establishing practices that signify membership of communities of practice (CofPs) and creating identities for individuals as leaders. Leadership discourse is itself viewed as a sociolinguistic practice and defines one of the CofPs within the team. Using the concepts of front and back-stage (Goffman 1959; Richards 2006) to describe different conceptual spaces in which interactions occur, I suggest that discourse in the rugby team is a spatialised practice; the performance of a particular style of leadership constructs the space in which it takes place as public or private, with each contributing to an effective leadership performance. The construction of leadership identity is analysed in terms of stance and indexicality, linking locally constructed identities and discourse strategies to macro identity categories and socio-cultural ideologies.

With their help, we have put smiles on the faces of 45,000 children. So in a year when we were all told to stay apart, it’s by coming together that we’ve made something magical happen. Open the pages to see the names that helped raise over $1.7 million… Toronto Star Santa Claus Fund Thank You Feature U 2 Together we made the holiday season a little brighter for so many children. If it takes a village to raise a child, how many people do you think it takes to get 45,000 gift boxes to children over the holidays? From first-timers to those who have been doing it for 50 years, we want to thank the volunteers that make this massive undertaking possible. ’Tis the season for giving indeed.

Footage of elite rugby coaches and athlete leaders delivering genuine 4 speeches were used as a stimulus. Team sport athletes (n = 20) watched this footage and 5 identified which aspects of the communication inspired them. Follow up interviews were 6 conducted to explore what the participants were inspired by and why. Thematic analyses 7 revealed six main dimensions of what was inspiring within the content of the speech, 8 including showing how the team can be successful, embracing and reinforcing the underdog 9 status, and creating pride and unity within the team.
