A
great teammate is an energy giver. You can trust a teammate who always gives
energy. You know that he gives past the point of exhaustion, boredom and pain.
A
great teammate runs every ground ball and pop up out with 100% intensity. He
comes early to the field. He stays late.
A great teammate trusts himself and
his teammates. He doesn’t curse after a bad at bat. He doesn’t make loud noises
and hit things to draw attention to his own “care factor.”
A great teammate encourages.
A great teammate holds his teammates to the standards of the program.
A great
teammate communicates and asks questions. He isn’t afraid to be wrong, and
isn’t afraid to fail.
A great teammate keeps going. He is relentless.
A great teammate hustles to
the field when he’s late from class.
He has great focus in the dugout and on
deck.
A great teammate looks for tips and free pieces of information from the
pitcher. A great teammate carries equipment that isn’t his, before a coach asks
him to do so. He is selfless. He knows the team only grows more when he gives
more.
A great teammate communicates on defense, regardless of his age, talent
or position. He isn’t afraid to say the wrong thing.
A great teammate has
perspective. He is enthusiastic, but not reckless. He is patient, but not
passive. A great teammate cares about his brothers and shows his love with
effort, intensity, energy and communication.
Are you a great teammate?
