Dear teammate, Thank you so much for your dedication to winning the game, single handedly, for the sake of the team. We definitely couldn’t do it without you! When there’s a boost that you mistakingly swipe from us (after leaving post rotation, and an open net) I understand it’s because you feel the weight of the team on your back, alone. Or when you leave the net open to clear the ball (out of the same corner we’re covering), I know it’s because you want the team to overcome that situation, very badly. And the feeling after the score for the other team, you are heart broken. As am I. But alas! There is great news! You don’t have to do it alone. You can let your teammates carry some of that pressure for you. Lean on them. Trust them. Watch their backs, as they watch yours. Let’s win some games, together!

Sincerely yours,

A teammate. Win or lose
