The time has come once again
To show what we can do
To work together as a team
Not just one or two.
Together we can do anything our hearts desire.
You know we have done it even though we are tired.
So let's look to one another for comfort and cheer
Let's lean on each other as we cry our tears.
Because together we have a goal that we have all set
And that's to be the best team the judges have seen yet.
So let's go out on that floor as a winning team
Let's do what we do best and make that crowd scream.
Because together we can do it.
Together we can.
Together we can be the best team in the land
This poem relates to the concept of teamwork for a few reasons. One reason is how it talks about how the team needs to work together to acheive their goals. It also says "cry our tears" meaning the team is going to share their victories and their losses. The poem also says lean on each other meaning they will use each other for support, which help in their victory. This poem with the concept of teamwork quite nicely.
With a Little Help From My Friends- The Beatles
What would you think if I sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me.
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song,
And I'll try not to sing out of key.
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,
Mmm,I get high with a little help from my friends,
Mmm, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends.
This song excerpt relates to teamwork as well. The Beatles talk about how they will succeed if they have help from their friends. This will make them better and further their goals. They cannot do it alone but with help, their goals are more easily attainable.
There was a most important job that needed to be done,
And no reason NOT to do it, there was absolutely none.
But in vital matters such as this the thing you have to ask,
is WHO exactly will it be who’ll carry out this task.
ANYBODY could have told you that EVERYBODY knew,
that this was something SOMEBODY would surely have to do.
NOBODY was unwilling,
ANYBODY had the ability,
but NOBODY thought he was supposed to be the one.
It seemed to be a job that ANYBODY could have done,
If ANYBODY thought he was supposed to be the one.
But since EVERYBODY recogized that ANYBODY could,
EVERYBODY took for granted that SOMEBODY would.
But NOBODY told ANYBODY that we are aware of,
That he would be in charge of seeing it was taken care of.
And NOBODY took it on himself to follow through and DO,
What EVERYBODY thought that SOMEBODY would do.
When what EVERYBODY needs so did not get done at all,
EVERYBODY was complaining that SOMEBODY dropped the ball.
ANYBODY then could see it was an awful crying shame,
And EVERYBODY looked around for SOMEBODY to blame.
SOMEBODY should have done the job and EVERYBODY would have,
But in the end NOBODY did what ANYBOY could have.
Charles Osgood
This poem shows the negative effects of not working as a team. The people didn't communicate and because of this the job that needed doing was not completed. If they had worked together as a team the "most important job" could have been easily completed, but because nobody was willing to step up, the job was not completed.
Teamwork is crucial
Don't think it miniscule
It means everything
To accomplish anything
It's called cooperation.
TEAM is an acronym
The meaning enlightening
Together
Everybody
Accomplishes
More
Therefore
We should learn
To work together
Not be hard as leather
Nor soft as a feather
Not be critical and cold
Neither shun being bold
Don't beat me down
To the dirty ground
But don't flatter me
And thereby deny me
From being all I could be
I certainly do need thee.
We undoubtedly can't be
All that we were meant to be
Without a collaborative effort
A hearty commitment to exert
Ourselves together fully
Or drive each other crazy
Produce peaceably collectively
Or perish pathetically individually
Teamwork is the key consistently
The most important ingredient
The sustaining saving solvent
Stay together against deterrence
Improve the national defence
Unite and pledge allegiance
Take rest. Don't be so intense.
Live together in communities dense
Discover technological brilliance
Engineer and build a Mercedes Benz
Legislate new laws and adherence
Place people over proud pretense.
Get some collective societal sense
Whence you can make a few pence
Thence we can rejoice and dance
Fearlessly take a chance and advance
Kindly forgive, forget, and be resilient
Overcome being emotionally buoyant
Elegantly articulate being verbally fluent
Prefer, get along, and be considerate
Us, over me, as we show sensitivity
Less of me, more of we triumphantly
Teamwork makes us indefeatable
Our energy can be indefatigable
Resources multiply indefinable
Profound intelligence undebatable
Care and compassion supernatural
Mightily power increases exponential
A team is invaluable and monumental
Together for us nothing is impossible.
This poem talks about why teamwork is important. It talks about how teamwork can make people "indefeatable" and that "together for us nothing is impossible." both of which are true. If people can work together as a team, then most of what they want to acheive is very possible. The acronym the author uses in the beginning is also true "Together Everyone Acheives More". If everyone wants to acheive one thing, together its a lot easier to reach.
Queen, We Are the Champions
I've paid my dues
- Time after time
- I've done my sentence But committed no crime
- And bad mistakes I've made a few I've had my share of sand kicked in my face
- But I've come through We are the champions - my friends And we'll keep on fighting
- till the end
- We are the champions
- We are the champions No time for losers 'Cause we are the champions - of the world
- I've taken my bows And my curtain calls
- You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it
- I thank you all
- But it's been no bed of roses No pleasure cruise
- I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
- And I ain't gonna lose
- We are the champions - my friends And we'll keep on fighting - till the end
- We are the champions
- We are the champions No time for losers 'Cause we are the champions - of the world
This song shows that together this team has succeeded, but it took a lot of hardwork and dedication.
Now it's early in his career. Just as he once did with Schwartz, Bryant keeps NBA teammates after practice as guinea pigs. "He was notorious for asking me to stay late to work on a move," says George, who played for L.A. from 1999 to 2006. "He'd say, ‘Stand there for a minute. I want to try something.' " And then Bryant would unveil a spin move, or a cross-over, or something else he'd picked up watching tape, and do it over and over and over. "The crazy thing about it is, he has the ability to put new elements in his game overnight," says George. "Like, for example, he might say, ‘Stay after and guard this move. Let me try it on you,' and he'll do it the next day in the game." George pauses to let this sink in. "Most of us, we'll try it alone, then we'll try it in practice, then in a scrimmage, and only then will we bring it out for a seven o'clock game. He'd do it the next day — and it would work." The Art of A Beauttiful Game, Chris Ballard
This excerpt relates to my concept because it shows that, by working harder and working together, people can improve upon themselves, somehting that wouldnt be possible if they didnt want to win and do better.
“Coach Clawson, get our playmakers the ball,” he begins, the whites of eyes large as he slaps himself in the chest with his hands. “I’m sick of this s---. We got too many good players at wide receiver and too many good running backs to do this s---! We all been talking about it. If they playing 10 yards off G. Jones why we running one yard passes? Let’s get our playmakers the ball, coach, and score!” On Rocky Top, Clay Travis
This is a speech an angry player gives. He thinks that the team needs to work together and they can win. But they are not playing smartly and giving the ball to the wrong people and losing because of it.
By setting up this dinner, I have guaranteed myself one thing at every Final Four: regardless of what happens to my basketball team during that season, I will always have my team with me at the Final Four. Some years I will coach my team. Other years I will drink wine with my team. But one way or the other, I'll always have my team with me. That's a pretty good deal for an old coach. John Feinstein, The Last Dance
This a book written by a coach, and what he means by this is his team he his coaching now is very important to him, and that his old team is very important, showing how loyal he is to his teams.
Together we stand , divided we fall ,
Come on now people , let's get on the ball and work together ,
Come on , come on let's work together , now now people ,
'Cause together we will stand ev'ry , ev'ry girl and a man ...
Before when things go wrong , as they sometimes will ,
And the road that you travel , it stays all up hill ,
Let's work together , come on , come on ,
let's work together ,Now now people ,
you know together we will stand ,Ev'ry boy , girl , woman and a man ...
Let's Work Together ,Canned Heat
This song excerpt is about how if people try to go off on their own, they will fail, but together they will succeed.
So just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
This song shows that people need teamwork to get help, and to help others in their endeavors.
*A team cannot be duplicated; it is one of a kind.Teamwork is a structure of strength that is reinforced by smaller connections among the individuals that make it up. It is friendship and trust. It is finding out just what it means to lay it all on the line, leave everything on the court, and to dig deep within to reach your goals as one. New members will join, and others will eventually leave, but the team will always remain. The bonds formed, the progress made, and the success that was achieved will live on long past the season’s end
Teamwork, Sarah Anothofer
This poem shows that a bond made between a team is unique, and only those players can exerience it.
In sports or school
In class or at home
Found anywhere
Or everywhere
Working together
Equality
Sharing the work

Together, Author unknown
This poem talks about how teamcan be found everywhere and how work should be shared.
Step by step the longest march can be won, can be won
Many stones can form an arch, singly none, singly none
And by union what we will can be accomplished still
Drops of water turn a mill, singly none, singly none.
From Ruthie Gorton, from the preamble to the constitution
of the United Mineworkers of America
A small verse that talks about how most things need to be done together, and how alone these things don't happen.
The stream sings it to the river, the river sings it to the sea
The sea sings it to the boat that carries you and me
The boat we are sailing in was built by many hands
And the sea we are sailing on, it touches every land
So with our hopes we set the sails
And face the winds once more
And with our hearts we chart the waters never sailed before
Somos El Barco, Lorre Wyatt
This children's song was written to teach children about teamwork and it does a good job.
Give me some men who are stout-hearted men
Who will fight for the right they adore
Start me with ten who are stout-hearted men
And I'll soon give you ten thousand more-ore
Shoulder to shoulder, and bolder and bolder
They grow as they go to the fore
Then there's nothing in the world
Can halt or mar a plan
When stout-hearted men
Can stick together - man - to man...
This song is about how teams grow when they work together and how if they stick together they'll be unbeatable.
A team had four members called Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done.
Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody’s job.
Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.
A summarized twist on a poem used earlier, showing that communication is key in teams.
I, my, mine-and the blatant meMy presence is but a speckle, in this awesome galaxy
Actions that I take pride in, has been said and done
Thus goes the saying-‘There is nothing new under the sun.’
Thinking individuals that we are
We have the right to criticize
We’re bestowed with the power of thought you see,
We have the power to analyze.
Let’s accept the corrections, with an open mind and heart
And keep the project ticking
Of which we are a part.
