Watch as Coach Lane Kiffin explains the importance of emphasizing being team players to both players and coaches. He states that ego can be a problem and understanding how it can have a negative impact is important. Ego can come into play when communicating with players and coaches and the goal should always be to work for the best answer and not arguing to defend an opinion. Coach recommends discussing ego with your staff and players so that all communications are not based on arguing but with productive discussions.
