Being part of a winning sports team requires each player to understand the rules of the game. Team strategies are developed and tested.

Special communications signals are developed for use on the field. And the entire team understands the capabilities of each player -who runs the fastest, who catches a ball better, etc.

New players or equipment must be integrated with the rest of the team. New strategies must improve existing ones in the playbook, or work with those already devised. A winning team understands that it is the combination of these elements that ensure victory.
