Winning a Championship is what every team dreams of, but only one can earn the right to be called "Champions". Giving everything you have to your team is not enough and perhaps is a bulk understatement. You need more than everything you have to be a Champion, your team has to want it double the amount everyone else does, you need Sacrifice, Character, Purpose, Discipline, and Drive to achieve a goal as high as a Champion. Most Importantly, you need to work as a team, play for the guy sitting next to you on the bench, selfishness will never lead you down the road to being a Champion, but will lead you to a quick ticket home. Every shift is the most important and the biggest one of your life, every battle in the corner is the most important one, but what's more important? You not getting hurt and being too tired to play or putting your team in front of yourself and battling with everything it takes, battling with more tenacity than you've ever played with, wanting it so bad that you won't let anything get in front of the team to end your run for glory. So when it comes down to your decision of whether you want to do what it takes to be a champion or go watch with all the other teams that have been eliminated. Only you can make that decision. YOUR MOVE!
