The Importance of Teams

The word ‘team’ is most commonly defined as, ‘a group of players forming one side in a competitive activity.’

For many of us growing up, becoming a part of a team whether informal or formal was a ‘rite of passage’ to becoming accepted by our peers. We practiced together, played together, won or lost together. Joining a team, and participating with one, gave us a crucial separate identity from our family unit, and made us feel a part of something bigger than ourselves. Through thick and thin we bonded with our teammates.
