The 12 principles of the Definite Dozen include things like Respect Yourself and Others and Make Hard Work Your Passion.
See how the team passionately translate these rules to live by into te reo Māori.
The Definite Dozen was first penned by trail-blazing US basketball coach Pat Summitt in her book Reach for the Summit: The definite dozen system for succeeding at whatever you do.
Summitt's legacy is a lot to live up to - can the team manage it?

“Discipline yourself so that no one else has to.”
TO ENTER YOUR REVOLUTIONARY STATE OF MIND
1. Be responsible (To yourself, to your family, to your community, to our world.)
2. Be respected, be respectful (Respect yourself. Demand that others respect you. Respect others.)
3. Be honest (Leaders don’t make excuses, they make improvements.)
4. Be loyal (Stand alongside those who have the least.)
TO DISCIPLINE YOUR REVOLUTIONARY STATE OF MIND
5. Work (Every day, everywhere.)
6. Study (To study is a revolutionary duty.)
7. Character over reputation (Character is who you are when no one else is looking. Reputation is who other people say you are.)
8. Believe (Doubters never win, revolutionaries never doubt.)
TO BUILD A SUCCESSFUL REVOLUTION
9. Be self-critical (No revolution is complete without a culture of self-improvement. There is no culture of self-improvement without a culture of self-reflection.)
10. Acknowledge the knowledge (Teach and be teachable.)
11. Build with allies, influence the enemy (Execute the 5 phases: identify, analyze, plan, implement, evaluate.)
