THE DISEASE OF ME

The following is one of he many attachments that comes from Mike Neighbor's email newsletter.  I've blogged before about all that Mike sends out -- always quality information no matter what level you coach at -- or what sport you coach.  If you have already signed up to receive it (and you'd be in the minority) simply email at Mike at: nabes22@u.washington.edu and ask to be added.


THE DISEASE OF ME
The Disease of Me = The Defeat of US

6 Danger Signals of the Disease of ME
1. Chronic Feelings of under Appreciation– Focus on Oneself
2. Paranoia over being cheated out of one’s rightful share
3. Leadership vacuum resulting from formation of cliques and rivalries.
4. Feelings of Frustration even when the team performs successfully
5. Personal effort mustered solely to outshine one’s teammate
6. Resentment of the Competence of another-Refuse to admit her Contribution

 
“The most DIFFICULT thing for individuals to
do when they become part of a team is to sacrifice,
it is much EASIER to be selfish”
