As the World Cup unfolds soccer fans are thrilled with the games, with great plays, great mistakes, and unexpected outcomes. Soccer is perhaps the best example of any sport in which one great player is not enough to win. It takes a group of players totally willing and committed to putting team goals ahead of any personal goals they may have. When the Code says, “I will put team goals ahead of personal goals,” what does that mean to you? What are you going to give up, or do differently in your sport than you would if you didn’t put the team first? Can you think of several things? Would your teammates be able to tell? How committed to that goal are you really?
