Commitment is knowing how you can affect the team in a positive way

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

"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."
