For every Great Champion there is one trait that stands out above all the others, "The Love Of The Game". This passion, this singular focus, empowers them to practice a little harder, train a little longer, and push a little farther.
But a lone champion can only accomplish so much by themself...just ask LeBron. Victory isn't the birthrite of a hero. Victory is the reward for collective and relentless effort of a team. It's superior offense and defense. It's great coaching and development. It's a choice to look into the mirror and not see an individual, but rather to see a member of the team.
"On a team, it’s not the strength of the individual players, but it is the strength of the unit and how they all function together."
Bill Belichick
Head Coach New England Patriots
"Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success."
Henry Ford
