ASSUMPTIONS
The program is centered on 4 assumptions.
If you are not in complete agreement
with all 4 of the assumptions, it is best for you not to ever begin the program
because there will be constant conflicts.
ASSUMPTIONS
1. We assume you want to be the best Athlete you can be.
When a coach looks at you, they see what you could and should be, and will push you
to achieve your potential.
You will never be allowed to settle for less than your best.
ASSUMPTIONS
2. We assume that you want to Compete on a Championship team. Our practices are designed to produce Champions.
You understand that decisions are made with the priority being the team, and the individual must come second.
ASSUMPTIONS
3. We assume you expect to graduate with the highest grades that you are capable of making.
We will not simply try to keep you eligible.
ASSUMPTIONS
4. We assume that you want to become a better person.
You understand that you ….- represent our team. - you will be held accountable for your actions.
SELFISHNESS
The only reason you will be eliminated from the team is "Selfishness". Selfishness and Team cannot co-exist. We will eliminate a selfish star to keep a team.
Selfishness is the problem; some of its symptoms are:
1. Stealing - violation of another's things or space for selfish gain2. Tardiness – explained elsewhere3. Absence - missing practice benefits no one4. I - concerned with self more than the team5. Class misconduct, ISS....etc.
SELFISHNESS
Attendance and punctuality are mandatory. You are to attend every function, be on time, and be ready.
1. you will do 25 Burpees for being tardy to practice2. For every excused absence you will do 25 Burpees.
Excused = You notified the coach aheadof time and there was no other Option
3. For every Unexcused Absence you will do 50 Burpees
LOCKER-ROOMSYou are responsible to keep your individual area clean, and as a team keep the locker room neat. You are trusted to keep your locker orderly and neat. The coach will check each locker room after practice for any items not picked up. No one except athletes are allowed in the locker rooms. Do not invite anyone in without prior permission.
LOCKER ROOM SECURITYThere always seems to be a problem with items in the locker room coming up missing.
Solution:1. Coach: make sure all athletes have a secure place to store equipment and valuables.2. Athlete: responsible for securing all items in locker.3. Team: eliminate the selfish act of stealing.
22 hour rule
Practice lasts for 2 hours.A Day is 24 hours long.What do you do with the remaining 22?
treat your body right!Get enough sleepeat healthydrink waterdon’t donate blood during the seasondon’t use drugs or alcohol
22 hour rule
Few athletes will ever have enough “SELF-DISCIPLINE” to do the extra. Even a smaller group of athletes will
be DISTRICT CHAMPIONS, REGIONAL CHAMPIONS, or STATE
CHAMPIONS. The choice is yours!
