in the Locker room

Above is scene from the movie Miracle. In that scene the importance of the locker room in team unity is crucial. The locker room is a place for the team to come together with no outside distractions, a place for the team to find unity. It can also be a great place for trading stories and having fun. The locker room is a place of team bonding. The dynamic of the locker room can be changed by one player's choice to use alcohol. Alcohol can affect your relationships with your teammates in negative ways.

Every day the team comes together to accomplish something and to get better. If you are out of bounds, how can you help your team? Using alcohol can place your relationships with your teammates out of bounds. The teammates that are depending on you to be a part of the team goal will be disappointed when you are not able to play. Alcohol affects you and your teammates on the field and in the locker room. Make sure you are a part of all the pre-game speeches by staying in bounds.
