DAWWG STATUS

The approach to leadership is simple. Create a Team First atmosphere with athletes that have a Want To mentality.  It is simpler said than done.  In order to achieve this, we must first understand what a Want To is:

Want To’s:  Athletes who “want to” succeed, achieve more, and be leaders.  Show up because they “want to”.

Have To’s:  Athletes that “have to” work out and be there because their coaches say so, and or others.  They would not show up for any other reason.

“Can’t Do’s”:  Athletes who have poor attendance, don’t act right, and are a negative influence on the program.  Always use the word “Can’t.”

Eliminate the Can’t Do’s and Have To’s in order to be successful.

Athletes who display traits of Want To receive a "DAWWG" ITEM

Effect: More students want to work hard and do the right thing to receive a "DAWWG" status. "DAWWG" status becomes similar to peer pressuring others who are doing wrong to start doing right.
