He believed that his authority gave him the right to control every play and dictate the actions of his teammates. His once united team began to crumble under his unwarranted dominance, as they became frustrated and demotivated by his bossiness.

His teammates' spirits were broken, and their trust in his leadership had vanished. Determined to make amends, he approached his teammates, apologizing for his behavior and accepting his faults.
