No I in "team"

Here's another one...

I lived to play kickball and everybody loved how I played. One day we had a tournament against the greatest team. I played. I was the catcher. It was really hard running after the ball. The girls kick very hard and when I caught their ball, they hurt my arm, but I know I'm dong good and my family knows I'm doing good. Then I got enough strength to keep playing this game and still I will not give up on my team. There is not an I in team is there? So I'm not going to give up on my team. I have been on that team for years and never gave up on them, so I hope they don't give up on me because I never will give up on them or on anything, so that's why you keep trying. Not bad stuff, but good. It was hard, but you will get through it.
