A short synopsis of respect, while seeking the same goal.
Larry Bird and Magic Johnson 2 pro NBA great players from college & pro. Win-loss they never put aside their friendship or bond on or off the court. That is one reason they have been considered, one of the “greatest rivals”
Many of us have or had close ties with family and friends that from the beginning emotional desire with strong connections, but the closeness of heart can be like my shoes for playing sports. If I do not keep them tied firm the chances of them becoming loose is much greater. Times I had to double tie them to stay tight. On the court or field untied shoes gives you a greater chance to trip and become injured. During the 40 yrs. of playing team sports the number lesson to win was to play team ball. Backing each player up, preparing to pass or receive and to assist your team mates.
At any time there may be a question of decision staying by their side provided the best security to play as a team to be successful and reset or format the play again. Questioning players ideas at that moment will not help the next team play or chance to score, it will lead to only “my thought matters.”
Many times the outcome of a game was not what we desired and other occasions the result of success was an equal joy as a team. No matter what court or field, a winning team comes by a mutual effort
playing together in accord with minds focused on the common shared goal.
As family and friends seek and are focused on the same inspirations and objectives towards unity with others looking for support to be able to share our hearts, minds and needs will help provide strength to carry on each day.
