    They told me there is no “I” in team.

    I am an athlete.
    I am an individual.
    I am strong.
    I am weak.
    I have desires, hopes, and dreams.
    I have goals.
    I have fears.
    As a team my opponent will never see my weaknesses.
    Only my strength, never my fears, only my goals as they unfold before them.
    I am not afraid that my team will see my fears, my hopes, dreams, or desires.
    I trust them to an unlimited level.
    I am not afraid that my team will see my faults, because
    With them I can overcome my faults, with them I am
    fearless, with them I have hopes and dreams.
    With my team I am not weak, I do not have the strength
    of one athlete, but of many, combined, focused,
    And dangerous to my un-united opponent.
    I become my team and my team becomes me.
    I do not judge, and I am not judged.
    I have a goal, and the team has a goal.
    The team goal is my goal.
    All that matters is that the team reaches its goal.
    They always told me there is no “I” in “Team”.
    They were wrong.
    I am the team.
    I became the team.
    The team became me.
    The team becomes an entity unto itself.
    The team is strong, creative, compassionate, caring,
    Authoritative, disciplined.
    The team absorbs “I”, and then there is “I” in “Team”.
    The “I” becomes part of something much more powerful.

    They were right there is no “I” in “Team”,
    But there is “Team” in me.

    The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together, the club wont be worth a dime

    Lessons in teamwork
    ***As geese flap their wings, they create an uplift for the bird following. By flying together in a V formation, the flock’s flying range is 71% greater than that of any bird flying alone.
    -When we share a common direction and sense of community, we can get where we are going more quickly and easily because we are traveling on the energy of another.

    ***When a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to fly alone, and quickly gets back into form to take advantage of the lifting power of the birds in front.
    -When we have as much sense as geese, we will stay in formation with those who are headed where we want to go; we will be willing to accept their help as well as give ours to others.

    ***The geese in formation honk to encourage those up front to keep up their speed. When the lead goose gets tired it rotates back into formation and another goose flies out the point position.

    -When we take turns doing the hard tasks, when we encourage others, we become stronger through shared leadership.

    ***When a goose gets sick or wounded, 2 geese drop out of formation and follow it down to help and protect it. They stay with it until it is able to fly again or dies. They then launch out on their own to find another formation or to catch up with the flock.
    -When we have learned the value of teamwork, we too will stand by each other in challenging times. Let us fly in formation and remember to drop back to help those who read it.

    Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean.
