Instead, they focus primarily on one sport, using others as complementary activities rather than equal priorities.

In basketball, success depends on the quality of leadership that you find on each team. I’m not just talking about the coach and the way he runs his squad — to be an effective player you must be a proficient leader. There shouldn’t just be one leader on your team.
