This is a time of the season when tensions can begin to arise between teammates. Some who are not starting may think they should be. Others, who may be starting, may think that others are not making sufficient effort. There are always some teammates who simply don’t like others. Further, if things aren’t going well, some players begin to question the coach, etc. Tensions can make improvement difficult. Where are you in all of this? How can you “be a positive influence on the relationships on the team” as the Code expects? Can you work with others to mediate issues and help the team become stronger?
