To blame is simple. After purchasing a new bat and the first time going to the plate I struck out. The next time to the plate I was handed another bat to use from the dugout struck out again. “it was the wrong bat I was handed” is an easy thought. Another ‘it was not the one I ordered” they store sent me the wrong one.” The next game we played trying another bat from a teammate, still having trouble at the plate, “this time it was a bad call from the umpire.” Not taking responsibility for my own decisions or actions is very common. It is the other ones fault for my bad judgment. It is just as simple to blame others for misunderstandings or choices, when they are not the way I think the answer should be. All the teams I have played on the best way to be called a “Team” is when we win or lose, we do it all together. To be there for others will be the best way to win with success. To find the reason many times looking into a mirror will provides the answer.
