Maybe it's time to adopt a new post-practice procedure for hosing off our gear.
We've been assigning junior high and/or freshmen to handle the task.
Let's start sending a different message:
Instead of looking at it as who "has to" do the job, maybe it's time to learn something from New Zealand's All Blacks rugby program and decide who "gets to" do the job.
Before leaving the dressing room at the end of the game, some of the most famous names in world rugby – including Richie McCaw, Dan Carter and Mils Muliana – stop and tidy up after themselves. They literally and figuratively 'sweep the sheds'.
Former All Black Andrew Mehrtens describes it as an example of personal humility, a cardinal All Blacks value.
Though it might seem strange for a team of imperious dominance, humility is core to their culture. The All Blacks believe that it's impossible to achieve stratospheric success without having your feet planted firmly on the ground.
