Commitment to the team.

Recently, Chicago Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro clearly defined for his team the meaning of "commitment."

"I can handle mistakes.  But I can't handle lack of effort.  And I can't handle lack of commitment to the team.  Commitment is coming in with energy every day, with focus, trying to get better, lifting weights, being on time, paying attention in meetings, being ready to play, knowing what your role is, who you're guarding, what their strengths and weaknesses are, how you can affect the team in a positive way.  Commitment is being a professional, working every day to get better individually.  As that happens, the team gets better.  If guys commit to the team, they'll get a chance."
