What did you get out of the 2006 season?

[Lisa Perez]

I learn this one every year (or rather, I gain an even better understanding of it). For a team to function well, everyone cannot get what they want, and each person has to make his or her own sacrifices.

Another one I learn every year -- People may have cookie cutter images of what they want to do before a season starts, but if they don't keep an open mind and make those sacrifices, they won't get to experience new things.

For me, each season builds on the past ones and helps me to better realize what sacrifices have to be made and how I can be more open-minded than before.
