Book reflection

One of the books I read this semester was Teammates Matter Fighting for Something Greater than Self by Allan Williams. In my opinion every athlete and coach should read this book. In this book Williams talks about his experience playing basketball for the University of Wake Forest. He was not the best basketball player in the world, but the coaches kept him around simply because of his work ethic. He dedictaed himself just to be apart of the team. He did not get alot of playing time, and he was cut from the team once. However, he was determined to stay with the team and made the walk-on squad. He played all four years while never progressing as a basketball player. His focus was to help his teammates and to be apart of something great. If athletes and coaches stay determined as Allan they will be very successful.
