Being a GREAT Teammate

Journal Activity - November 17, 2024

Who are you when you don’t get what you want in the moment? Who are you when things aren’t going your way? If you are a great teammate, these situations don’t impact your energy, effort, or engagement levels. But if you aren’t intentional about knowing WHO you are, these moments can really share your confidence.

Watch the video in the tweet below and learn form someone who modeled what a GREAT teammate looks like, sounds like, and acts like!

“I realized when I got benched I still was WHO I was. I’m more than a volleyball player. I’m a great teammate. I know who I am as a woman.”

-Kirsten Bernthal Booth, Creighton University Head Volleyball Coach, recalling a conversation with Kiara Reinhardt
