Importance of Teamwork:
Teamwork is when people work together to achieve a common goal. It is vital because:
- **Shared Effort:** Distributes the workload, reducing pressure on one person.
- **Coordination:** Ensures everyone plays their specific role effectively.
- **Support:** Teammates help each other when someone is weak or tired.
- **Skill Sharing:** Combines different players' unique strengths (speed, defense, strategy).
Fair Play:
A true sportsperson respects their opponents, plays by the rules, accepts the referee's decisions, and remains humble in victory and dignified in defeat.
