A Quote by Earl Weaver

A winning player is nothing more than a player on a winning team. A losing player is a guy who played on a losing team that year.

I think winning a championship, for me, it put things in perspective. You can either be a great player on a so-so team, or you can be a role player on a championship team, or, in an extreme case, a great player on a championship team.

Harrison Barnes

A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group - that's teamwork.

John Wooden

The only difference between a winning team and a losing team is one game. The winning team can win two out of three games...the losing team can only win one out of three.

Vin Scully

I've been the best player on every team that I played on, so if I can't be the poster child of your team, then what else is it? It's got to be a black-white issue. Every white player I know who's the best player on their team is the poster child of that team.

Gary Sheffield

Of course team spirit and team's strategy matters more than anything else as far as the team is concerned. As far as I am concerned, if the presence of one player is affecting the morale or the spirit of the team, then we might as well rest that player for a while.

Wasim Akram

I'm not driven by killer ambition. I'm not a workaholic. I'm a good team player. I don't have to be captain, but I do want to play on a winning team.

Jane Pauley

I think the only thing that matters is you win as a team and you lose as a team. And so the team needs to understand that no one player is bigger than any other player. Everybody has a role... Every single role is important.

Bill O'Brien

When your team is winning, be ready to be tough, because winning can make you soft. On the other hand, when your team is losing, stick by them. Keep believing

Bo Schembechler

A winning team feels good and keeps winning. A team that hasn't won in a while gets demotivated and keeps losing.

Sam Altman

My opinion is there should NOT be an MVP award [in hockey]. The Olympic teams sports shouldn't acknowledge individuality. And if there is going to be such an award a player on the losing team who lets in the losing goal shouldn't get it.

Michael Wilbon

It's tough at first. You realize in the NBA, it's not easy. Each and every night, you're playing against that player that was the best high school player, that player that was the best player on his college team.

Devin Booker

It is one of my biggest regrets that Niall Quinn was not here during my time... I felt he was an intelligent player. It would have been a good combination with Thierry Henry. What I like with Quinn is if you look at the player who played next to him, he always scored 40 goals because he had a hand for his head and he just put the ball where you were. He was a team player. A top-class player makes other players look good and he had that player.

Arsene Wenger

I always talk about being a team player, I think I'm really good team player. I was a big voice in the changing room before games and nothing really changed for me.

Fabian Delph

If you're not on a team that's winning, it takes a lot out of you as a player.

Scottie Pippen

Managing can be more discouraging than playing, especially when you're losing because when you're a player, there are at least individual goals you can shoot for. When you're a manager all the worries of the team become your worries.
