LA ACE Blog Post 10 - A Situation in Which I Collaborated Intensely at Length with Another Person

Last year, there was a soccer tournament held by the Ortus consortium, called the O!League. My class decided to take part in the competition, and I was a member of the team of 5. We planned a tatic before every match and we knew that teamwork was really important, so we had to co-operate with one another.

Our strategy worked out in every game, and we proceeded to the finals. In the finals, we had abit of slip-up after scoring 2 goals, and we conceded 2 goals also. During the half-time break, the team leader told us that we had to work together as a team and that we could not play solo, or we would lose. We heeded his advice and in the second half, we scored 3 goals and conceded 0. This just shows how important teamwork is. If we cannot get along well with one another, the team will fail. However, if we work together as a team and collaborate intensely with our teammates, the team will succeed.

I feel that the moat important thing in every team is not each person's ability, but everyone's ability to work as a team and cooperate with one another. Only then will the team be able to succeed. If everyone cannot agree with one another and keep quarelling and arguing among theirselves, the team will fail and achieve nothing. This is why I feel that teamwork is the most important thing needed for a team to succeed.
