The thing with team sports isn’t really about playing together but about playing your position effectively, so that together, your team might win.
Playing your position effectively might mean doing something completely different from the rest of the team, like negotiating or keeping the books or reining in customer accounts.
You don’t abdicate your position when things get difficult and hope another teammate picks up the ball where you left off. You stick it through, knowing that if you don’t do your part, it might never get done.
