Robin Williams and the Code

Everyone has been shocked to learn that Robin Williams took his own life. Most of us did not know that he suffered from depression, a serious illness. Many of his friends are probably thinking that they should have “done something.” What does the Code have to say about this? The Code says, “I will be a positive influence on the other relationships on the team.” Part of what this means is that we will take responsibility to do what we can to help other members of the team. Usually this may mean stepping in when two players don’t get along, or whenever there are issues between members of the team. But, it can also mean having the courage to “be a friend” to anyone in time of need. Do you have any friends who are going through a difficult time personally? How can you be a better friend to them?
