The lesson I learned from Skip Bertman’s nickel experiment was that in order for a team to be successful every player has a role, whether you’re the star player or you sit the bench. As an athlete we have to think about the choices we make or the words we say, as they go a long way and can slowly break a team apart, it starts with one player, then their nickel gets bent, then it continues and soon more nickels will be bent than straight because others are following.

Every one plays a role in the teams success. No one’s role is necessarily more important than the others , taking pride in your role will make success for the team much easier!

What I got out of this lesson is that everyone has a role no matter the person. If one person isn’t on the same page as the other teammates, then the whole team falls apart and the team chemistry falls apart. Every has to make an effort to work towards the same goal.

What I learned from lessons of Skip Bergman’s nickel experiment was that to want to be able to achieve great things as a team, you have to work together as one. Everybody knows their part so if everybody communicates to one another, I believe everybody and yourself could end up being successful in the end.
