THUNDER RIDGE HIGH SCHOOL CHEER

TEAM PHILOSOPHY 2023-2024

"DON’T QUIT"

Winners never quit and quitters never win: The mindset that is required of a champion athlete. Throughout the course of the year we want this to be something that you think of often. DON’T QUIT. It’s about perseverance, dedication, grit, mental and physical toughness, resilience. It’s the ability to not give up or back down, especially when things get hard or go wrong. You will fail, it’s inevitable. Just remember: There are seeds of success in every failure. It’s in how you respond to that failure that matters. 

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again. That’s why I succeeded.” -Michael Jordan 

DON’T QUIT. Believe in yourself. Belief in what you can accomplish. Do the work. Having that belief and confidence in your abilities and the abilities of your teammates is what will bring our goals and vision for this year to fruition. 

“Never quit. It is the easiest cop-out in the world. Set a goal and don’t quit until you attain it. When you do attain it, set another goal, and don’t quit until you reach it. Never quit.” - Bear Bryant, American Football
