Setting Goals and The Code

As we begin the fall season of sports, what goals have you set for yourself?  Hopefully, you have set some individual goals, ways in which you can improve your fundamental skills.  But how about team goals – have you set some goals for ways in which you can make your team better?  Have you set some goals for how you can help your teammates improve?  For ways in which you can improve the team spirit?  The Code says, “I will develop my skills to the best of my ability…” but it also says, “I will put team goals ahead of personal goals,” and “I will be a positive influence on the relationships on the team.”  We must do our best, but part of doing our best is helping everyone do his or her best as well.
