Getting along with teammates can be tough, especially given the competitive nature of sports in general. Many players get frustrated when their teammates miss shots, make defensive errors or even enjoy too much success on the field.
Dealing with these firebrands takes patience, cool nerves and a commitment to fairness, but the resulting reward of team unity is worth the effort.
Spend time with your teammates doing something simple and non-competitive. Hanging out, eating food or going to the movies are good ways of building a personal bond with them that'll strengthen your on-field relationship.
