On Leadership
“Just as in a stainedglass window– if
there was only one
color it would not be
beautiful. On our
team– if there was
only one player, it
would not be
successful.”

Qualities
• Passionate
• Honest
• Trustworthy
• Listens
• Knowledgeable
• Flexible
• Organized
• Caring
On Flexibility
“I don’t need to be the number one on
the team. This is what I train for day
in and day out. I am the support
player. If I need to hit, pitch, run,
whatever– I will do it. If everything
was going to be about me, I think I’d
quit.”
Creating Team Chemistry
• Camaraderie
• Confidence
• Communication
• Commitment
• Coachable
• Consistency
• Character
More on Teamwork
“Even when you’ve played the game
of your life, it’s the feeling of
teamwork that you’ll remember.
You’ll forget the plays, the shots, and
the scores, but you’ll never forget
your teammates.”
Developing Team Goals
• Are they measurable?
• Are they realistic?
• Are they specific?
Don’t let wins and losses determine
your success!
On Teamwork
“You play for the name on the
front, not the name on the back.”
“It’s easy to figure out who isn’t
a team player. They’ll
constantly remind the coach
just how good they are.”
On Losing
“I can accept
failure. Everyone
fails at something.
But I cannot accept
not trying.”
Michael Jordan
Dealing with Conflict
• Address the issue at the right time
• Use the right tone
• Be aware of underlying issues
• Respect others’ opinions
Most importantly, make sure you
communicate and take care of the
conflict!
On Conflict
“Obstacles are challenges for
winners and excuses for
losers.”

court

On Playing
“Do you know what

the game is?
The opportunity to
play.”
Mike Singletary
