Dream Team | Joey Palomba | TEDxTheBenjaminSchool


if you want to go fast go alone if you

want to go far go together hi my name is

Joey palomba and I believe that this

quote is absolutely true and speaks the

importance of working as a team but I

believe that if it is a truly

functioning team it will not only go far

it will go fast and the chances are the

team you are participating on right now

or that be your job your sport is not

truly functioning as a team one thing

that can tear our teams apart is

gossiping gossiping can be in simple as

speaking to a fellow teammate about how

unsatisfied you are what’s another

teammates performance or if they have a

different opinion on a topic than you

this can both spread and Tara teams

apart very quickly seventy percent of

kids quit team sports by age 13 because

of the coach not because of the players

because it being left out because of the

coach as whereas this may sound it is

absolutely true one thing that the coach

can do to force kids to quit teams is

that they want to win more than the

actual players do which can cause

extreme discomfort through entire teams

another thing that the coach can do a

force kids to quit teams that they will

instill into kids heads that’s not what

having fun anymore I agree with this on

some level since once kids reach higher

levels of play it should be taken more

seriously however I do believe players

should enjoy what they’re doing all the

way up to professional levels one of my

favorite examples of teamwork was

displayed by professional quarterback

Tony Romo it all started when he was

injured early in the season for some

backup quarterback dak Prescott step up

and fill the role of quarterback

Prescott exceeded expectations having

his team lead the NSE division and smash

many rookie records however once run was

able to return he had to make a

difficult decision of letting Prescott

and finish out the season in knots going

back into her claim to fame in Rome was

press conference uses phrases like

ultimately it’s about the team and it’s

not about your stats to prestige but the

memories that come from a shared

commitment these phrases show with a

true teammate supposed to act like and

the sacrifices that he will have to make

first team the last point i’m going to

make on this topic is easy to accomplish

for all you have to do is think this

point can relate to all the points i

have touched on because all these points

involved thinking so when you leave this

building in your

back in your team environments I ask you

to think about the next thing you’re

going to say or do and then decide if

this is going to hurt the team you are

participating on or help it thank you [Applause]
