FOOTBALL STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE
“High Standards, Attack Problems, Be Consistent”
We have specific behavioral norms that apply to every single person in this football program.
We have a way of doing things, Accountable and Dependable, which has as much to do with core values & principles, as it has to do with blocking, tackling, and passing; a philosophy that focuses more on the mind than the body.
Bottom Line: Regardless of your specific job, it is vital to our program that you perform your job at the highest level at all times. You must conform your own beliefs to the beliefs of this program by having a great attitude and a willingness to make a commitment to the program.
“If you are lucky enough to be a part of this program, it means that you are a part of a program that has high expectations of itself and of you individually.”
The standard of excellence requires not only maximum mental and physical effort, sacrifice, and commitment, but also attention to such seemingly incidental requirements like consistent communication, no behind the scenes whispering, and proper dress. While it may initially seem tedious, it all adds up and affects the culture of our organization.
We will direct our focus less toward the prize of victory and more toward the process of improving. We will not focus on winning, but the process of becoming winners.
