    I liked this quote because it represents selflessness and what it means to see your team achieve its’ potential.  In a world where everyone wants to get drafted and get their stats right for their draft year. They could be missing out on getting to the top in exchange for personal glory.  I see it every day.  I love the trend in professional sports right now….it’s not about the A-Rod’s….it’s about the Eckstein’s !

    A s a coach I like this quote because I feel players understanding their role on a team dictates the success a team can achieve. I have had talented teams with players that did not accept their roles and this became detrimental to our teams success.
