Let's Play as a Good Teammate

In this episode of Let’s Play, we’re getting real about what it actually means to be a good teammate — not just existing on a team, but showing up the right way when it matters most.

I break down the biggest misunderstanding athletes have about being a “good teammate,” and why it’s easy to think you’re one when you’re playing well… but much harder when your role changes, you’re on the bench, injured, or feeling overlooked.

I’ll share a personal story from my own athletic career where I was forced to become a better teammate in a high-stress moment — and how that experience completely changed the way I view trust, leadership, and performance. You’ll also get practical tools you can start using immediately to stay engaged, manage your emotions, and show up consistently for your team, no matter what your situation looks like.

Even if you already consider yourself a good teammate, this episode might challenge you to ask:
Am I really being the best teammate I can be?

If you’re an athlete who wants to:

• Earn trust from teammates and coaches
• Handle frustration, jealousy, or reduced minutes better
• Build stronger relationships on and off the field
• Become a leader without needing a title

…this episode is for you.
