Good Teammate

“Teamwork makes the dream work”. We often hear that expression. Although used jokingly most of the time, nothing could be further from the truth. Are you a good teammate? Are you someone that you would want on your team? This is the question for the athlete that trains and competes in team sports.  It is said that an individual’s dedication to a group effort is what makes a team successful. Each member of a team should be pushed by their desire for excellence as an individual and as a group. Always know that individual actions, good or bad, contribute to success or failure of the team. We need each other. As a team we need to be strong, when others are not … and we need others to be strong, when we are not. A team without teamwork will rarely find success. Be a good teammate in sports and in life.
