Whether or not a person pursues team sports beyond the high school level, the lessons learned last forever. Anytime you play a team sport, you pick up certain values. One of the most important is team started spirit. From the time II realized playing sandlot football, I couldnt do everything by myself I learned that success was a team effort, not an individuals accom- - Later, I had games for the University of Kansas and for the Chicago Bears where I gained close to 200 yards rushing. Believe me, I knew it was because the teem was working together. I developed the attitude that-'couldnt do it alone. I knew those linemen, whose names would never appear in a headline on the sports page the day after a game, were just as responsible for my success as I was. And I made sure to tell the guys who we blocking for me that I appreciated the help! Theres nothing quite like the feeling of real team spirit, and teamwork realty leads to a winning spirit Now, as a successful businessman, the lessons I learned early i life about teamwork are invaluable. My business is doing well because of diehard work of t lot of people. If it werent for other people doing their jobs, I wouldnt 1 be able to have mine. We have a winning ream spirit that makes us winners in business. Of course its not always that easy. Not every team will be a winner. So success also can be a personal goal. One. year when I for tb Bears, we lqst jwas playingBUrsmeatoT-Wlta everything. record, I tried to make myself feel like a winner by setting personal goals. I tried hard to win the n title rushing title, the n title. In a and the poor team spirit situation, I made myself into a winner, and we were just a little bit better because of it I believe if all players on losing teams had a similar attitude, they might not find themselves hacking away with a losing team anymore. A winning spirit can be in- spirit in people trying to make better lives for themselves. I especially admire that spirit in kids who are working hard to get ahead in their studies in schools where everyone else has decided that it isnt worth their effort. As Jesse Jackson ia fond of saying, Live in the ghetto, but dont let the ghetto live in you. Participating in team sports ia one of the best placekto learn that spirit And its a good feeling to be a winner-eapecia- lly in life.
