Hard Work and TEAM Slogans.

There are a lot of motivational sayings that advocate working hard.  There are also a few that advocate working smart.  The best of both worlds is, of course, a strong combination of the two.

Given a choice I will take the player who works intelligently over the player who gives great effort more often than not. It's an issue of TEAM with me. 

Breaking down film for a friend this morning I watched a team who had two young men who gave great physical effort. I know for a fact both won team awards - one as team MVP and the other as team MOP - because their coach told me so.  I would not have selected either one for an award. In fact, both would have found it difficult to get on the field for me.
