Student-athlete Tip of the Week - 1/19/16

We have all heard the saying that athletes are made in the offseason. How about good teammates? When are they made? How would you describe a good teammate?

Here are a few attributes of good teammates. They care as much about their teammates as they care for themselves. They respect their teachers and coaches equally. They feel a sense of community. Winning is more important than individual fame. They set a good example both on and off the field of play.

Good teammates are made by striving to do the right thing all day long and all season long. Being a good teammate is contagious in a positive way. When every player on the team really cares about every teammate, the formula for success is in the making.

Do you have what it takes to be a good teammate?
