Adding a new person to a team (national or club) can be beneficial or damaging to the overall performance of the team. A critical aspect of the selection process is to understand the character of the team members, and the needs of the team. A good selection process complements the strengths and weaknesses of the team with those of the newly selected team member. Conversely, poor selection processes may in fact weaken the strengths of the existing team and result in a decline in performance levels achieved before the addition of the new member.
