English to Danish Other Management

Jeg tror det er et baseball-udtryk, og jeg forstår godt meningen, men kan ikke finde ud af at omsætte det til brugbart dansk i sammenhængen. Det handler om at få folk til at yde mere på jobbet (se også mit næste spørgsmål):

"Surround yourself with mediocrity, and it becomes harder to give 100 percent. In professional sports, there are many examples of athletes who struggle while playing for a *last-place team* only to bounce back when they’re traded to a playoff contender. The fact that they’re suddenly surrounded by a coach and teammates who expect and demand superior performance causes them to dig within themselves and produce better results."
