"Individuals play the game, but teams win championships."
This is the sign that is in the New England Patriots team locker room. This says it all! It's a life rule, no one achieves any level of success completely on their own. Do you have any athlete's on your team that have incredible individual talent but struggle to be a team player? If so, below are some examples of attributes that will give insight into a player's attitude towards the value of a team:
- Interpersonal rapport- How well does the athlete get along with their coach/teammates?
- Interpersonal harmony- What are the athlete's realistic expectations of their coach/teammates?
- Interpersonal conflict- How well can the athlete handle mistakes made when relying on their teammates?
- Team orientation- What is the athlete's level of understanding and involvement with teammates and their sport?
- Attitude towards team success- How well does the athlete thrive in a team setting?
- Attitude towards team failure- What is the athlete's response when the game does not go as planned?
*Note: These are just a few of the thirty nine attributes objectively measured in the InnerTactics Sports Profile.
What have you been able to achieve just by being part of a team that you could not have on your own?
