Bricks that pave the road to State Championships

  1. Accountability, you should bear the weight of your actions and responsibilities… No excuses. Think like a champion, and act like a champion; TO BECOME a champion!
  2. Punctuality, you should be on time-in fact early-to practice, to class, and to the tee. If you want the opportunity to participate in what counts in your eyes, be present, punctual, and diligent in what counts in that of your coaches’ eyes.
  3. No Pain, No Gain—Know Pain, Know Gain. Yes this might be the oldest of sport clichés, but it makes sense. You need to be willing to do that which you may not want to do, in order to deserve the big prize-the Big Championship.
  4. Discipline is the key to all kinds of success, personal, and team oriented. You must embrace disciplined in yourself, of the team, and from authority figures. Discipline yourself, so others don’t have to.
  5. Team versus ME? The ultimate question in this sport…what is the most beneficial to me? The team? These should be the same, how can something that is good for the team be bad for me? It can’t. We need to be willing to give a little of ourselves to make the TEAM stronger!
  6. Student Athlete- The student comes first and that is the way it is, you need to take care of your academics first!
  7. Compete! Don’t ever forget that there might be a person on your team outworking you for your spot! Never let complacency creep into your attitude.
  8. Build. Build your teammates up, build your friends up, and build yourself up. Never be that force that brings down those around you. Always be a positive influence in your environment, LEAD in the positive direction.
  9. Class. Exude this quality. Always act in the manner that you wish people to remember you. The impression that you leave is a lasting one; let it be a positive one! You must look like a champion and act like a champion-to BE A CHAMPION!
  10. Are you satisfied? Don’t be! Never let yourself be content with where you are, make sure that you are always striving to be better, in your performance, in your attitude, and in your life!
