Whenever you’re tackling a group goal at work, playing a team sport, collaborating on an artistic project, or just hanging out with friends, it’s important to be a team player. That’s why Lance Loya, a coach and CEO of The Good Teammate Factory, founded National Be a Good Teammate Day.

This annual holiday is a time to celebrate the people on your team and recognize those who go above and beyond for their coworkers, colleagues, community, and teammates. It’s also a great time to post pictures of your team on social media using the hashtag #NationalBeAGoodTeammateDay. Today, let’s also celebrate our teams with music!

So for today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs about being on a team or teamwork would you like to hear?
