and persistence.

4. Creating unity
It beautifully focuses on creating unity in
diversity among the team and teaches one
that the team’s objectives are greater
than the individual’s objectives.
For example, in the beginning, when the
coach asks everyone to introduce
themselves, the players start by their
states. The coach interrupts and tells
them that they are not playing for their
states but the country first, then for the
team and then for themselves.

5. Coercive
leadership
There is an instance in the movie where the
hockey team girls come to their room to see
that their bedmates have changed, and they
have to share their bed with the people they
don’t know. This was one of the first moves by
the coach to make them friends.
5/9

6. Getting Involved
Kabir Khan was involved in each of his player’s lives.

So involved was he that he was able to guide them at the right
junctures.
