Politics and the Code

Politics is all about different people wanting different things.  This happens all the time on our teams: a person wants to play one position, but the coach wants him or her to play a different position; one person wants one kind of offense, another wants something different; one person wants the practice to focus on one thing, someone else thinks it should focus on something else!  What are the “political” issues that are on your team?  Does the Code say anything about this?  The Code says, “I will put team goals ahead of personal goals.”  It also says, “I will follow the team rules established by the coach,” and “I will be a positive influence on the relationships on the team.”  Which of these tenets best applies to your team and your situation?  Is there a way for you to discuss this with your team members and/or your coach?
