Dear Virginia Independent School Athletic Association Athlete,
Make Your Teammates Better
An important part of leadership is making the people around you better. Your maximum effort, positive attitude and willingness to help teammates whenever possible will help them improve as players and people...and then the whole team improves.
A great way to do this is by sharing praise that comes your way (because, after all, you cannot succeed without your teammates) and by accepting responsibility for your own mistakes (because, after all, you always can improve individually). When this approach to leadership becomes contagious, your team will be difficult to stop, and you will be on the road to the relationships and life lessons that are the true reward of sports. |
