Being a good teammate is when you try to sprint down a ball that everyone thinks is going out of bounds. But you go after it anyways and you get it.

Hamm frames “good teammate” behavior as an ethic of effort and belief: you chase the ball others have already written off. The image of sprinting for something “everyone thinks” is lost highlights leadership through action rather than talk—your willingness to expend energy can change the outcome of a play and, just as importantly, set a standard for the group. It also suggests that team success often turns on marginal gains: one extra run, one extra second of commitment, one refusal to assume failure. In this view, teamwork is not passive support but active, contagious persistence that can convert low-probability chances into real results.
