Whenever we teach “teamwork” to our kids or employees, we always imply that it’s intra-team work. And when we teach players to establish goals, far too often we imply winning or awards, rather than simple objectives that demonstrate improvement in any aspect of the game. This video segment from ESPN shows what happens when team work means looking beyond your uniform crest, and a goal is something that hasn’t yet been achieved, but is a swing, a stroke, a shot, an attempt away, separated only by practice and attitude.Scrap every bit of youth sportsmanship training there is, and just have the young sports in your home, as well as any sports parents you know, watch this clip.
