It's about the big game and definitely not about the big game

Why do we play sports? What’s the team goal of being on that basketball team? Usually to win a championship. As it should be.

But the goal is to win it all because of the person it will make you on the team. The goal to be the best team is what makes everyone go on their hero’s journey.

If the best player is too selfish then that wont work for the team, if their are players who are deflated because they don’t play enough that won’t work for the team, if everyone wants to dribble the ball up the court or shoot 3’s that won’t work for the team. If the team doesn’t talk on defense, share the ball, or help each other on defense they won’t win either.

So let’s not forget why we play… We play to win because of the person it will make us. We sacrifice for others on the team because ultimately a hero’s journey or a happy life is when you use your talents to serve others.
