At Covenant Christian School we offer a number of sports and exercise programs. The programs not only benefit the student's health but also their mental stamina. At CCS our head fitness coach is Coach Rutter. Coach Rutter is a very respected coach who offers students the opportunity to better themselves. She says ‘opportunity’ because it is up to our mindset and body to complete the challenge. When we tell ourselves this workout is impossible we will never exceed the expectations we had for ourselves. This is why mental stamina plays a huge part in sports and in bettering yourself. To prove this, we had a number of student-athletes state that in the moment they want to quit, but Coach Rutter never fails to remind them that your mind will quit before the body. Coach Rutters' workouts enforce discipline on the mind and body, impacting student-athletes greatly. Coach Rutter also knows the importance of setting goals and giving the athletes a quality role model. Rutter teaches the kids/students about past players in a sport or people who traveled a long distance to get to where they are now. This gives them a sense of empowerment and the mindset “If they can do it, so can I”. Not only do Coach Rutters’ workouts improve your strength, but you also improve your ability to conquer more tasks that may have once seemed impossible.
