Buddhists
In western culture, it is accepted that it is not wrong to think bad thoughts, only to act on them. For example, it is generally acceptable to think "I feel like hitting Mr. Waite in the face" so long as we don't act on it. The belief is our thoughts do not negatively affect us, only our actions. On a team is this true? If you think bad thoughts about your teammates or coaches, does it have a negative impact on you and the team? Eastern philosophy would say yes. The Buddhists believe our thoughts and actions have consequences. I would submit negative thoughts about your teammates, coaches, practice, games does have a negative effect on the team and you as an individual. When it comes to teambuilding, we need to keep our thoughts and actions on a high level to reach our potential.
