Last, teamwork could quite possibly be the greatest thing I have learned through sports. In fear of letting my team down, I gained an exceptional sense of responsibility.

“Do your job.” A simple quote by Bill Belichick (New England Patriots Head Football Coach) but this quote means a lot about my character. The reason it means a lot to me is because if you work tremendously hard and do your job your team will be successful. My head football coach, Mike Rowe uses this quote as well and adds “If everybody does your job you will be successful. Trust your teammates since they will fight for you and the rest of the team.” I am tying this quote to football but it can be used in any team sport you are involved in. Football teaches character and that’s why I love it so much. I’ve learned so much about myself and how I want to live my life just from being in football.

“Come on make your lay-up, Lewis!” Coach Marshall yells. Obviously not at me though, considering I am always sitting on the bench.
I’ve always wondered why people with a little or a lot of power tend to treat you unjustly. I’ve experienced many times when people with power treated me poorly. There were times in school with teachers, in school with principles and even out in public places. When I experienced these moments they made me feel like there were something wrong with me or I was different. Also, it made me feel like I was different from others… but not in a good way. I hate when people give me this certain vibe that I don’t belong.

Emma’s eyes stung with pain, as the harsh sun beat down on her lost colored face. Shouting arose throughout the crowd of people. Everyone jumped up out of the rusty seats and started to clap and holler, Emma sat there, emotionless. She has gone too far to many soccer games and they had simply stopped amusing her. She spotted her younger sister down on the muddy field, who seemed just as excited as the rest of the crowd. She glanced around at her parents and older sister, Rachel, who started to chant Jenny’s name. I, Emma Rose Finn, continued to sit there and watch the world fly by me in a tangled ball of confusion and emotions.

Lencioni presented in the book three virtues that make up the ideal team player; they are as follows: humility, hunger, and smarts. Ironically, these traits must be taught, and not inherent.
