I think that every athlete should ask themselves a question before every game.

That question is: What am I going to do today to help my team win?

Everyone who plays a game should have an answer to that question.

It doesn't need to be based on certain statistical bench marks. It should be something that you realistically know you can accomplish. It should be something you can control about yourself.

For some people it will be things like being a positive influence on teammates. It could be that you are going to hustle after every loose ball. It should be something though.

There are some things that an athlete can control for themselves in a game. I think every athlete needs to ask themselves what they will do to help their team win and have an answer for it.
