Dear Parents,. Your child’s future boss isn’t going to give them a raise simply for showing up to work. They WILL however, reward them (or fire them), based on their work ethic, character, and willingness/ability to get the job done!. Sincerely,. Coaches Who Truly Care.

A Coach and a Teacher's job is not to make you happy. Their job is to make you better. Your happiness will come from the success you achieve because of the lessons and discipline coaches and teachers instill in you. Embrace the challenge rather than fight it.

Can’t emphasize this enough!.Showing up matters. Giving your all matters. Empowering others matters. Eye contact matters. Firm handshakes matter. Body language matters. Doing your job matters. Keeping your word matters. Putting team first matters. EVERYTHING YOU DO MATTERS.

Players: During practice, selfless teammates will momentarily put aside their friendship & compete against each other because they care about the teams success in competition! Practice the way you play! It’s never personal, it’s just necessary in preparation. Competing IS caring.
