Team spirit means you are willing to sacrifice personal considerations for the welfare of all. That defines a team player.

Being yourself; not acting. You therefore can function near your own level of competence. Satisfy you own expectations rather than those of others.

Friendship is two-sided. It isn't a friend just because someone's doing something nice for you. That's a nice person. There's friendship when you do for each other. It's like marriage - it's two-sided.

The greatest failure of all is the failure to act when action is needed

I would not tolerate profanity from anyone, anytime. I'd blow the whistle, pull you from the court and put you on the bench and talk to you before I would put you back in.

Our titles would not have been possible without the unselfishness displayed by all our teams, the team wins, not the individuals

Teamwork is not a preference, it is a requirement.
