BE A GOOD TEAMMATE! #TEAMFIRST #FAMILY

The foundation of a successful sports team is within the members of the team. Great teams have positive leaders and supportive teammates. In order to be a good teammate, it is vital to have trust within each other. Every team sets out to achieve a common goal, trusting your teammates and having their back is crucial. To be a winner, you must have the right mindset and understand how important your teammates are and how much you need them.

Every member of a team is an ingredient to its success! This is a fact that tends to be over-looked by everyone. All teams have diff erent levels of talent and diff erent strengths and weaknesses. Whether you play 1 minute or 32 minutes, you contribute to a win or a loss. Giving your best eff ort at practice to make your teammates better is part of being a good teammate. Always remember, “You practice Family owned since 1969, located how you play, you play how you practice”.

All it takes homeopathic remedies. is one person to not box out and the rest of the team (who did box), did that work for nothing- don’t let your teammates down. Go hard after a loose ball; don’t be afraid to dive on the fl oor! One possession can be the diff erence between winning and losing a game; a good teammate will sacrifi ce their body for a loose ball. Make good passes on off ense! Making a good pass is crucial in executing your off ense. Don’t make a sloppy pass that is hard to catch or a bad pass to your teammate that will put them in a bad position. Set good picks for your teammate. Give up your own shot if someone else has a better shot. The little things make a big diff erence in a game. If every member of the team acts as a good teammate and conquers the little things as an individual, the team will have a lot of success.
