#teammates

Teammates...were fine things. Piling onto the bus before the game, edgy with shared nerves, egging one another on with the genial, meaningless phrase C'mon, you guys!, collapsing back into the same seats for the ride home—the sense of striving in accord had been a sweet part of high school. Possibly the sweetest. But the camaraderie had not survived graduation, or even the off-seasons. Her teammates, passing in the school corridors in winter or spring, were downshifted to nodding acquaintances who had once been close, that past connection floating off like cotton candy on the tongue. ↗

My own little rule was two for one. If one of my teammates got knocked down, then I knocked down two on the other team. ↗

I'm busy working on every aspect of my game - defense, shooting, rebounding - but I really want to become a better overall team player. Help my teammates become better players out on the court in order to win more ball games. ↗

Getting a chance to practice six months against my own teammates, who I consider the best soccer players in the world, there's no way I couldn't improve. ↗

They are always telling us that Carolina Blue is not a color, that it is really Columbia blue or sky blue. But there is no bad blood amongst the teammates. All of our kidding is in good fun. ↗

When it comes down to it, I always played hard for my teammates and I played hard for my coaches no matter who it was, ownership. ↗

The party now is having my kids laugh and my wife laugh and my teammates. I want them to see me have fun and put it in a different way. ↗

The greatest memory for me of the 1984 Olympics was not the individual honors, but standing on the podium with my teammates to receive our team gold medal. ↗
