The 3 Things That Teams Need

In the video below, former Florida basketball coach and current Oklahoma City Thunder coach Billy Donovan says that the best teams that he has coached have had 3 characteristics:

1 - Love
2 - Care
3 - Acceptance

He said that his players on his best teams had a love for eachother, they cared about eachother, and they accepted eachother.

He would often have players come to his house for team dinners, and one of his players mentioned how lucky coach was to have such a loving, caring, and accepting family. 

Coach Donovan told his players that his family isnt't perfect, but that they are COMMITTED to trying to be the best that they can for eachother.

None of us are perfect.  Our teammates won't always get along.  There will be fights.  There will be arguments.  But if we can be committed to showing eachother love, care, and acceptance, we can create a memorable experience and we can maximize our abilities as a group.
