“I don’t care what you did.
I care how you did it.” @danorlovsky7
As parents, we are raising a child not an athlete.
If we focus on making our child accountable for being the best person on the team, not just the best player, he/she will get much more out of sports.

"This game is about how you act as a teammate.
This game is about embracing roles and accepting roles." -Brad Stevens
Know your role.
Star in your role.
And most importantly, embrace your role.
Roger Federer’s Commencement Address at Dartmouth yesterday might be the best speech he’s ever given.
Amazingly articulate, funny, full of wisdom. Made me laugh and tear up. I’m so very proud to have had him as my idol for the past two decades.
If you have 25 minutes to spare…
ESPN has had the NBA since 2002.

John Wooden said, "A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group, that’s teamwork."
Great teams have teammates that come together.
They know unity and teamwork are essential.
A great team isn't made up of individuals seeking personal glory, but of people who trust each other enough to work towards a common goal.
What do great teams have?
Great teams have trust - This means team members feel confident in each other's abilities and intentions, creating a safe environment for taking risks and sharing ideas.
Great teams have commitment - People are dedicated to the team's goals and willing to put in the necessary effort and time, even in challenging circumstances. It means sacrifice and putting ego aside.
Great teams care about each other - There's a sense of camaraderie and concern for everyone. Caring isn't just words, it's a core part of the culture where people care for your well-being and your future. This strengthens team bonds and collaboration.
Great teams have communication - Open, honest, and clear communication is practiced, ensuring everyone is on the same page and misunderstandings are minimized.
Great teams have strong leadership - Great teams have multiple leaders at all hierarchies of the team. These leaders guide, inspire, and support the team, setting a clear direction and fostering a positive team culture.
Great teams have adaptability - There will be challenges and great teams know how to adjust when new obstacles arise. They can adjust to these new challenges, changes in the environment, or shifts in strategy, demonstrating flexibility and resilience.
Great teams have standards and accountability - There is always a sense of ownership, responsibility, and candor. Everyone embraces the standard. People take responsibility for their actions and performance and respectfully hold each other to high standards.
Great teams have a shared vision - There is never a question in what are our goals and what is our WHY. Everyone understands and is aligned with the team's objectives and purpose, it drives unified efforts towards common goals.
"Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results" - Andrew Carnegie
