December 24, 201015 yr Even if a player manages to never set foot on the field, court or ice, they deserve the championship. They still put in all the work, and probably put in more trying to get onto the field. The only people that work harder than the benchwarmers are the truly great athletes, like Steve Nash, etc. If they're at practice, they're there helping to make the other players improve. That's the whole point of a team. In practice you go against each other like you hate each other's guts, because come game time, that's exactly how your opponent is going to treat you. Anyone who says someone goes too hard in a practice is simply lazy, with the exception of drills designed to teach a skill, rather than hone. That said, everything Das said already proved the point. There's no such thing as regret. A regret means you are unhappy with the person you are now,and if you're unhappy with the person you are, you change yourself. Thatregret will no longer be a regret, because it will help to form the new,better you. So really, a regret isn't a regret. It's experience.
December 25, 201015 yr Personally, I will say that whoever is on the team is supporting the team, and they deserve every honor of being on the team. Last week, my high school varsity swim team beat our rivals for the first time in history. After 35 years of losing to them, we finally we able to say we won. It was a great feeling, let me tell you, but what was even better was watching it happen. EVERY swimmer, even those who did not swim at all (and we have a huge team, so that's a lot of them) were on the ball. They were cheering us on every race and every lane. There was not a single person on the team who did not play an active role that meet. That's what being a team is about: supporting each and every member, regardless of your personal situation. Our rival team likes to be cocky during meets. They like to have people in the stands cheering wildly, even when they're away. We completely drowned them out. In my opinion, each and every member of our team won that meet. It wasn't just the few fastest swimmers that performed. EVERYONE did their job as a member of our team. Extrapolating to professional sports, while a sense of playing as an occupation is added, it does not change the fact that a team is a team, and they (or at least should) support each other under any circumstances. Without a team backing you up during training and during competitions, you can only achieve so much. ~It's Super Effective!
