Simon Sinek revealed that it’s not always the star athletes or the toughest guys who succeed; instead, it’s those who, despite their fears and exhaustion, find the strength to support their teammates. True strength lies not in individual accolades but in the willingness to serve and uplift one another. It’s this spirit of camaraderie, service and selflessness that forges the most exceptional teams.
