Either way would be so frustrating–either you’d be upset with losing or upset with looking like an idiot.

Probably worst player though. But it would hurt.

I do not want to have the worst house in the best neighborhood. I would be ‘that’ person and no one would like me and I wouldn’t have many neighborly friends.

Mediocre student at the best college is okay – no one looks at your grade to give you a job. Prestigious schools open lots of doors.

Sports? Bah! I don’t do sports.

Great question!!

In a nutshell, I believe that it is aiming higher and achieving more to be the worst player on the best team than vice versa. Which is important to me, but not necessarily to everyone else.

Worst player on best team. I already have the worst house in the best (or at least one of the better, highly desirable) neighborhood… I figure it’s much harder to get onto the best team than the worst team, so even if you’re the worst player, you’re already light years ahead of the best player on the worst team.

Being a big fish in a little pond is boring, constricting and stultifying. Been there, done that. It lacks challenge and room for growth. It’s too easy for people to rest on their laurels when they haven’t, in fact, achieved much of anything.

In order to be the best you can truly be, you need the opportunity to continue expanding, reaching farther, testing yourself, which is difficult (and sometimes impossible) to do when you’re the best player on the worst team.

Worst player on the best team – it would make me work harder.

Definitely worst player on the best team/worst house in the best neighborhood. At least then you have something to work toward. If you’re already the best where’s the fun in that? (Written like someone who has obviously never been the best on any team!)

I’m not sure. I keep going back and forth and both of my reasons make sense to me. Oh the choices.

Worst player on the best team, please. I am intrinsically lazy and would prefer to coast on my team-mates’ achievements than have the stress of being the one responsible for keeping up the standards!

I prefer to be a small fish in a big pond–I’d much rather be a nobody in New York City rather than queen of society in some small town, so it’s worst player, best team for me. The only exception is, I’d choose to have the nicest house in a bad neighborhood because I like to feel that I’m in the vanguard of a changing neighborhood.

I had a boss that used to say “Surround yourself with the best people, they will make you look good.” So I’m going with the worst player on the best team. Every player (including the ones that didn’t play) on the Pittsburgh Steelers roster has a SuperBowl ring
