KAC Basketball: It Takes An Entire Team
// May 6th, 2008 // Hawai'i, Sports
When I was 14-years-old I had enough skills to make my high school Varsity basketball team, not because my Dad was my coach but I had earned it. Now, nepotism would have had me monopolizing minutes per game, however my skill set was not as good as many of my more seasoned and talented teammates. I understood my role, and accepted it. I was to practice as hard as anyone else, learn the game, develop my skills and encourage my teammates from the bench prepared to enter the game at a moments notice if the score warranted.
Like it takes a village to raise a child, so it takes an entire team to accomplish its goal whether it’s a business project, community building or a sports game. Unfortunately, one of the challenges is getting team members to understand their role without conflicting with pride or other excuses, but that may be something for the rant category.
We’ve played every team in our division, and are still undefeated with six wins. As my journey on this path continues, I learn something with each step.
