Leadership is... Teamwork

“Championship teams are made up of people who are concerned about something beyond themselves.”

  • One of the most important fundamentals of successful teamwork is the elimination of selfishness. Selfishness on the team level or with any individual player will destroy a team faster than anything else. 
  • A team first attitude allows people to accept roles that make others better. Great teams have individual players who each make their own unique contribution to the group’s success.
  • Roles can either be a force that binds the team together or creates jealousy between individuals. If value is shown equally to every role, it is easier for each role to be embraced by every player. The more each individual squad member feels like they are part of the team, the more they will contribute. 
  • The power of an effective team is directly proportional to the effort each team member brings to their individual skills and role.

“The team must always come first.”

“Don’t let your teammates down” speaks to every situation in which athletes can find themselves.”

“Teamwork allows ordinary people to attain extraordinary results.”

“There are no individual winners on a losing team.”

“What sets apart championship teams is the degree to how deeply committed the members are to one another.”

“If your goal is to play together and play hard, then winning takes care of itself.”

A champion team will beat a team of individual champions.”

“In unity there is strength.”

“Everyone on a championship team doesn’t get publicity, but everyone can say he’s a champion.”
