Epictetus, slave turned philosopher, represents a face of modern stoic philosophy. This has become a pillar for modern professional sports. Think on some of his quotes.
"Circumstances don’t make the man, they only reveal him to himself." (Rise in the moment)
"How long will you wait before you demand the best of yourself?" (determine your destiny)
"You are hurt the moment you believe yourself to be." (Don't take anything personally. They don't know you.)
"There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will." (Control what you can control.)
"What ought one to say then as each hardship comes? I was practicing for this, I was training for this."
"Don’t explain your philosophy. Embody it." (Model your beliefs)
"We should discipline ourselves in small things, and from there progress to things of greater value."
"A person is not going to undertake to learn anything that they think they already know."
"You can’t hope to make progress in areas where you have made no application."

Being a great teammate requires you to care as much about someone else's success as you do about your own.

Being a great teammate requires you to be more committed to your team's success than your personal success.
