A bad teammate can make the season long. They can’t make you a bad teammate.

Somebody else sets how unpleasant your season is, and that part is genuinely not yours to control. What they do not set is your own conduct. In the moment those feel joined together, as though matching them would only be fair, but they are two separate decisions made by two separate people. The length of the season belongs to them, and what you are like inside it belongs to you.

Decide now what you will do when they are at their worst, while you are calm and it is not happening. One sentence is enough. Holding to it on a bad Thursday is the entire exercise.
