[quote=Anonymous]Winning is important, but how you play the game and how you interact with your teammates is more important.  Just remember that unless you go on to be a professional sports star, whether you win or lose each season or each game will not matter when you are in college or beyond, but how you interact with people, whether you are a leader and an example to your team, whether you support your teammates and make them stronger because they know you have their back whatever happens, these are the skills which will serve you well no matter what you do in life, whether you become a pro baller or whether you become a different type of team player.

So, I'm proud of your competitive spirit and that you fought to the end.  I'm proud that you want to work hard in the off-season to improve your sports skills.  But also work hard in the off-season to build your team leadership and team player skills.  You may find that just being a leader and a supporter of your teammates that you can make them play better.

It helps if you can find stars in his sport that exhibit these skills.  Players who not only excel in their own skills, but excel in bonding their team together and improving teamwork and comraderie.  There are many good examples of such players.[/quote]
