respective school system. I think we all feel the athletics can be educational, we just
sometimes do not promote it. Let’s start with the premise that athletics are
educational and promote the following:

When the Going Gets Tough….
Do you ever feel like
they are circling?
Do you feel like it’s a
Tug of War?

9How Do We Enhance Performance?
• Do you know your schools mission
statement?
• Is your coaching philosophy
consistent with and support the
mission of the school?
• The number one educational
outcome of co-curricular activities is
the promotion of learning.
9:38: AM
Promotion of Learning: We must be promote the educational value of athletics to
help athletes develop positive character traits and learn life lessons. We must
encourage our athletes to strive to become the best player and person they can be.
Citizenship through participation occurs both on and off the playing surface both in
and out odf season.
Developing good citizen-athletes involves defining and developing the relationship
from athlete to athlete, from athlete to team, and from athlete to community.
