teamplay
Working together effectively
Teamplay is cooperative effort among members of a group working toward a shared goal.
The term appears most often in sports and gaming contexts, where individual skill matters less than coordination: Their teamplay was flawless—everyone knew their role.
Good teamplay requires communication, trust, and willingness to subordinate personal glory to collective success.
