A Team or An Indiviual

I picked the quote" The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't together,the club won't be worth a dime." This quote was by Babe Ruth. The first time I heard this quote was from my tournament basketball coach. When I hear this quote I think of when a team doesn't work together,then the team will lose,because everyone is trying to do their own part to become a star. The teams with the least amount of talent will always win if they work as one team.So if the team is torn apart by people trying to be the big star,then that team is no good,and will have problems down the line. My tournament basketball team had awesome players,but the problem was that everyone wanted to be the hot shot,or big man of the team and tried to do it their self,instead of playing team ball. We lost our first 6 games,and coach told us the quote and let us sit in the locker room in silence and think about what to change.This quote has helped me many times this football season. Every time I didn't touch the field or play that much,I wanted to quit the team. When I had these negative thoughts I always thought about the quote and keep on working my hardest and try to get more playing time and be a team player and not think about myself.
