Week 3 Theme, Team Work

Now this is the law of the jungle-
As old and as true as the sky;
And the wolf that keep it may prosper,
But the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree trunk,
The law runneth forward and back-
And the strength of the pack is the wolf
And the strength of the wolf is the pack.

-Rudyard Kipling

Teamwork: Simply stated is, less me and more we!

Week 2 Theme, Loyalty

(*Where are you? Are you apart of the South Loup Lady Bobcat Basketball team as a matter of convenience, or are you truly loyal to the program?)



“The greater the loyalty of a group toward the group, the greater is the motivation among the members to achieve the goals of the group, and the greater the probability that the group will achieve its goals.”

Week 1 Theme, Sacrifice

*(The only thing I disagree with is forgiving and never forgetting. In my opinion forgetting would be a great example of sacrifice)


“Getting what you want is not nearly as important as giving what you have.”
-Tom Krause
