We have always believed in strongly encouraging the "team effort", as a family. We do life as a team. We all carry the same last name, so this bonds us together and makes us a team. As a member of the Martin team, you are expected to represent us well in public, showing respect, not only for yourself, but for the other members of your team, especially the team manager/aka Dad. For more on this concept, my friend, Brenna, a fellow PW &
SPARK Ministry sister, wrote this book,
Coach Mom: 7 Strategies for Organizing Your Family into an All-Star Team.
