I have heard that term many times and I agree with some of it. “Sports reveal character”. I do believe that good coaching helps to teach young athletes then “right” way to play. There is no “I” in Team and it is important for young athletes to learn how to give there best efforts for their teammates. Thanks for such a thoughtful response!

I can see clearly within my teammates who practiced team sport and who practiced individual sport when they were younger.. Some concepts of team building and being in a team are not familiar with those who practiced only individual sport..
They forget that ''I'' has no place in team sport. You must give yourself and lose that ''I'' to advance forward, whether winning or just being better as a team.. By losing yourself people think that you really LOSE something, but all you do is winning and growing! Maybe it's better to say to share yourself not to lose yourself, because truly you share yourself with others for the mutual goals..
Agreed. This needs to be taught from an early age. Unfortunately, there are many that teach kids that they must go for glory and always be the best. Often to the detriment to the team.
ADSactly! khm khm, I mean exactly! :D Winning is just a bonus, nothing else - it is a good feeling, but the best feeling is that feeling of belonging in the community and that you know that your brothers will fight for you and the joy you have when you fight for your brothers...
Cheers!
