Mead's theory of the self suggests that individuals must be able to take on the role of the other to be successful in a given social context. In the case of sports, this means being able to simultaneously take on the role of several others, such as teammates, opponents, and coaches, in order to make quick decisions and respond effectively to changing situations. Joshua's success in soccer is thus dependent upon his ability to take on these multiple roles and navigate the demands of the game.
