Teamwork
The concept of teamwork is extremely important to the success of any team. All
coaches talk about working as one unit, as a unified team. Teamwork and unselfishness
create the backbone of a great team, without them a team cannot realistically
compete. You can have a group of superstars, but if they do not work well as one
unit, chances are they are not going to be as successful as you would think. The team
working as one cohesive unit is going to be the key in their success.
A productive team has players that share common goals, a common vision and have some
level of interdependence that requires both verbal and physical interaction. Teams
come into existence through shared attitudes about a particular sport. They may come
together for a number of different reasons, but their goals are the same - to achieve
peak performance and experience success. The ends may differ but the means by which
one gets there is the same - teamwork. Every member of the team is accountable when
it comes to teamwork.
