"Non nobis solum"

The La Jolla High boys basketball players were sporting practice jerseys in their first summer league game that say "Non nobis solum" in Latin below a Vikings logo, which translates "not for ourselves alone".
Apparently, coach Paul Baranowski has been hard at work in crafting a program-wide theme for the coming season to further reinforce his emphasis on adopting one's role on the team and playing for one's teammates.
This would seem to be his first venture in team-building at the Westbourne campus into a foreign language, or dead language if you're one of those like myself who took Latin in high school to prepare for a journalism career. "Agricola, agricolarum" (farmer, of the farmer in vocabulary exercises).
