During the latest episode Should Kids play organized sports? we discussed the topic of taking one for the team. The example brought up by Tiv was about the Belgian shot putter Joien Boumko who ran the 100-metre hurdles at the European Athletics Team Championships on Saturday in Poland, after her teammate pulled-out due to injury. You can find the video here.

Taking one for the team does not just happen in sports but can be found in almost every facet of life. Have you ever let someone you know go first for something you wanted to do? Or let your friend, family, young cousin or whoever get the last ride on the pony or that last piece of cake that you really wanted? We have all done it and I am certain you can think of many times in your life you or someone else has done it. Let us know your most interesting occurrence of taking one for the team and send us an email. [email protected]
