Team Announcements

Announcements:

"The more you sacrifice for your team, the more glory the team will give back to you."

You may say, "I don't need my team's glory." I know. None of us do. But when a teammate is asked about you, what will she say? Will she say, "That girl is AWESOME! I LOVE her and I want her on my team!" If she says that, then that's your glory!!!
When your coach is asked about you, what will the coach say? Will she/he say, "That girl puts her team ahead of herself. She's encouraging, dedicated, patient & hard working. I want a dozen other athletes on my team just like her."
That is your glory!

And the flip side:

The more we put ourselves ahead of the team, the less glory our team will give to us:
college recommendation letters, nominations for awards, job recommendations, on and on and on.

Why ships sink
"Ships don't sink b/c of the water around them.
Ships sinks b/c of the water that gets inside them."

Team First.
Always Team First!
If you have a hard decision to make, and you base your decision on "What's in the best interests of my team," then you will always be able to defend that decision! And you'll be able to sleep at night knowing you did the right thing. Don't even try to please 1 or 2 people! But always try to do what's in the best interests of your team...whether that team is your family, your church, your classroom, or on the court/field. Great teammates base EVERY decision on how it will affect the team!.
