Focusing on Team Success Over Individual Responsibilities

Focusing on the team's success rather than individual responsibilities is crucial in sports. A coach who can get all players to buy into a program and philosophy tends to lead the team to success. Players should prioritize contributing to the team's overall goal of winning the game, even if it means deviating from their position's traditional roles. The concept of missionaries versus mercenaries highlights the importance of individuals being part of something greater than themselves for achieving long-term success.
