Avoid the Killer S's - selfishness, sloth (laziness), and softness. Play for the girl next to you. Support your teammates. Bring intensity, immediacy, and intelligence to the court. Go to the floor to keep the ball up.
Culture is the totality of the 'ecosystem' of a team. The Greeks used terms ethos (character), logos (reason), and pathos (emotion).
In a classic television show, "Star Trek," the Science Officer is half Vulcan (a culture of logic) and half human, and he works to suppress his humanity with fascinating results.
Egocentric (self-centered) behaviors are common in young children, adolescents, and less mature adults to the detriment of teamwork.
Make your ego dependent on the success of the team.
Lagniappe. Excellent video from Coach Martin...
