-Laura Osborne

-Henry Ford
Imagine if you tried to win a baseball game all by yourself. You'd have to pitch the ball, scramble behind home plate to catch it, dash over to third base to scoop up a hard grounder, then make the long throw to first. But who's on first? That's why teams were invented. When you play as part of a team, you're admitting that you need the talents and cooperation of others to win the game. Teamwork is a valuable lesson in humility...an acknowledgment that no matter how brilliant you are, you can't do it alone. And there's so much to be gained. Because when the team wins, so do all the individual players.
-Rick Bayan
Teamwork divides the task and doubles the success.

The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of stars in the world, but if they don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime.
-Babe Ruth
I think any player will tell you that individual accomplishments help your ego, but if you don't win, it makes for a very, very long season. It counts more that the team has played well.
-David Robinson
Nothing is impossible for the man who doesn't have to do it himself

When spiders unite, they can tie down a lion.
-Ethiopian proverb
Next fall when you see geese heading south for the winter ... flying along in a V formation ... you might consider what science has discovered as to why they fly that way. As each bird flaps its wings, it creates an uplift for the bird immediately following. By flying in V formation the whole flock adds at least 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own. People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going more quickly and easily because they are travelling off the thrust of one another. When a goose falls out of formation it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go it alone ... and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird in front. If we have as much sense as a goose, we will stay in formation with those who are headed the same way we are. When the head goose gets tired it rotates back in the wing, and another goose flies the point. It is sensible to take turns doing demanding jobs ... with people or with geese flying south. Geese honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep up the speed. What do we say when we honk from behind? Finally ... and this is important .. when a goose gets sick, or is wounded by gunshots and falls out of formation, two geese fall out with the goose and follow it down to lend help and protection. They stay with the fallen goose until it is able to fly or until it dies; and only then do they launch out on their own, or with another formation to catch up with their group. If we have the sense of the goose we will stand by each other like that.
