No matter whether you are new or an old team member, you need time to adjust to one another.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's difficult working with someone who is not a team player.
When you start out in a team, you have to get the teamwork going and then you get something back.
I am too much of a team member to be separated from my team.
If you're not loyal to your team, you can get by for a while, but eventually you will need to rely on their loyalty to you, and it just won't be there.
It's not easy when you have a new manager because you have to try and adapt yourself to him, the team, training sessions, and the game.
You have to get along with people, but you also have to recognize that the strength of a team is different people with different perspectives and different personalities.
Because it is my second season with the team, no time has been wasted in getting to know the people I'm working with. I am aware of what the team is capable of and how the organisation works, and they are familiar with what makes me tick.
To me, it's really important to drive change through a team because one person, while the buck has to stop with somebody, the company is just too big for one person.
We were going to have to experiment, and we needed to develop our younger players. And a lot of the changes were because of injuries. But that's where I give a lot of credit to the group in terms of being able to maintain things.
I think it's an extremely important factor to have your team together. It goes back to having distractions. When you all stay together for a period of time you're not training people or feeling out different personalities.
