The better conditioned team will probably win in the long run.
You'd like to see your team reasonably happy, but that's not your job. Gain their respect and get them to accept their roles
The main ingredient of stardom is the rest of the team.
A player who makes a team great is better than a great player.
Loyalty is very important when things get a little tough, as they often do when the challenge is great. Loyalty is a powerful force in producing one's individual best and more so in producing a team's best.
We can become great in the eyes of others, but we'll never become successful when we compromise our character and show disloyalty toward friends or teammates. The reverse is also true: No individual or team will become great without loyalty.
Make sure that team members know they are working with you, not for you.
Lead, don't drive. And give credit. Don't blame. If an officer on your team suggested something and it worked well, give them credit. If it doesn't work well, you take the blame because you made the decision.
A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group - that's teamwork.

The best way to improve your team is to improve yourself.
Opponents are working very hard to defeat us. Let's not do it for them by defeating ourselves from within.
Each of us must make the effort to contribute to the best of our ability according to our individual talents. And then we put all the individual talents together for the highest good of the group.

We may not be the best conditioned team in the country, but our players think they are.
The greatest ally you have to get things working well and the players performing as a team is the bench. Don't be afraid to use it, either for the star player or anyone else.

Our titles would not have been possible without the unselfishness displayed by all our teams, the team wins, not the individuals
Others may have more ability than you, they may be larger, faster, quicker, better jumpers ... but no one should be your superior in respect to team spirit, loyalty, enthusiasm, cooperation, determination, industriousness, fight effort, and character.
Loyalty is a cohesive force that forges individuals into a team.
