James Kerr writes about the New Zealand All Blacks rugby team in Legacy, "to become an All Black means becoming a steward of a cultural legacy. Your role is to leave the jersey in a better place." The All Blacks have won 86 percent of their games over years, because they truly believe, "Better people make better All Blacks."
You represent the team on and off the court. Your performance in the classroom reflects the team. How you respect your parents represents the team. How you treat your classmates and your teammates matters.
Kerr adds, "Humility does not mean weakness but its opposite. Leaders with mana understand the strength of their humility. It allows them to connect with their deepest values and the wider world...according to The New Zealand Dictionary, mana is 'great personal prestige and character'.
In What Drive Winning, Brett Ledbetter explains how character drives process and ultimately results.
This is the initial roster for 2017, one of the youngest teams in Melrose history. Congratulations.
