Can great champions influence a team?

I just looked at the athletes named in the alpine US ski team for next season and could spot four remarkable skiers: Lindsey Vonn, Mikaela Shiffrin, Ted Ligety and Bode Miller.

I then wondered if the US Ski Team had any strategy to somehow tap into these unique individuals' talent in order to build a formidable team. I'm afraid this is not the case and I'm probably right.

It seems to me that individuality trumps any team building and plan. Too bad!
