The Importance of Teams Teams are a second family; a sisterhood, a brotherhood, or even both. Teams work together, teams solve problems, teams are what win the game. Teams strengthen relationships with one another, and the closer a team is, the better they play. Looking back on a high school career, no one remembers every score, every play, every competitor, but everyone should remember their team. I have a best friend on my volleyball team. She and I are co-captains; we are both middle players. We were friends before we could walk. Joining the school volleyball team made our relationship stronger. On the court, I know exactly what she’s going to do and where she’s going to go. The advantage to this is that I cover her well and she does the same for me. Even though we are rarely on the court at the same time, we both play our best when we are together. Another example on my same team is our setter and lead outside hitter. They are also best friends and have been since pre-school. They are both remarkably great at what they do, but something between them just click to where the sets are always perfect for the hits to be put down. Their friendship off the court constantly allows them to connect with one another on the court for the most positive results. Our whole school volleyball team are friends; we don’t hangout outside of school because it’s required, we do it because we want to. We have classes together and we all sit together at lunch. Us being so close helps us get better and better every year. We come to realize that everyone is going to have their differences, but as being a successful team we have to work them out. I consider my volleyball team my sisters. We cover each others backs on and off the court, building stronger and stronger bonds with one another. Attitudes and effort are always important, and when your entire team are close friends, your attitudes are better. You also try harder because you don’t want to let your coach, your fans, or yourself down; but you also don’t want to let your teammates down. It’s amazing the power of positive mental thoughts can do for an athlete. Though at times it can be tough, befriending your team not only helps your team become a more unifying force; it also helps you as an individual athlete. Keeping positive attitudes towards one another on and off the court helps you mentally. You shouldn’t dread going to practice because of your teammates.You aren’t the entire team by yourself; and everyone has their flaws. So, make the best of your team. You would be amazed by what you could accomplish when you really work together. Learn even more: bit.ly/16TwBuw
