"The greatest compliment to any player is he is a great teammate.
— Coach Mac 🏀 (@BballCoachMac) November 19, 2024
We can't all be great players, but we can all be great teammates"
- Jay Bilas
In our basketball program, players voted on the Best Teammate award. It wasn't an MVP, but rewarded teamwork as voted by teammates.
- Make being a great teammate a high priority.
- Be supportive and encouraging to all.
- Help teammates when you see skills to improve (platform, footwork, arm swing, service toss). When you watch others, you learn skills for yourself.
If someone is a great teammate, thank them. Bill Walsh said, “If you’re growing a garden, you need to pull out the weeds, but flowers will die if all you do is pick weeds. They need sunshine and water. People are the same.”
