All this talk about setting alarms is hilarious. We're not talking about Monday morning at the job site here, we're talking about the first day of the event that every prospect has been waiting their whole life for. It would be more a question of being able to get ANY sleep than it would about waking up on time.
Also, a pro sports team isn't just a job, it's a team where everyone has to be at their best or the team fails. Guys train like mad for years - when someone 'sleeps in' they are disrespecting the effort and commitment of their teammates.
As for the team, if you allow that, you state to the whole team that you accept mediocrity.
Finally, as sureloss' post above suggests, it's very probable that this isn't the first issue for him.
