Teamwork

Many of the players on the San Jose Saber Cats football team have played together for years. Quarterback Mark Grieb, reciever James Roe, defensive lineman George Williams, center Dan Loney, fullback Brian Johnson and defensive backs Clevan Thomas and Omarr Smith have played in many championship games together since 2002. It seems that being on the same team for such a long time has its benefits as the Saber Cats have been doing well.

Like the Saber Cats, my soccer team has many core palyers who have remained on the team for almost 6 years now. We have become very good friends and we know each other very well on and off the field. This comradrie has familiarized us with each others playing styles and has drastically affected how we play the game. We know who is good at what and who is not so good at what and this knowledge has really helped us make good decisions during our games. Not only does playing together for so long make us successfull on the field, but it also makes us closer and better friends off of the field. Although having that core group has been amazing, my team would not be the same without the new people that we get every now and then. I find that they usually fit in well and transfuse new energy into the team. They introduce us to new styles and ways to play the game and i think this adds greatly to the value of the team.

Comment below and tell me your opinion about teamwork and what you think the ideal team would be: a team of players who have played together for a long time, new players brought together on the same team, or a combination of both?
