#1.  Work as a TEAM to prepare ourselves for what obstacles may lie ahead.
- The "Fundamental Goal:"  The EFFORT is what counts in everything.
- Don't think you can make up for it by working twice as hard tomorrow.  If you have it within your power to work twice as hard, why aren't you doing it now?
- Break through the walls!

#2. Create leaders in everyone:
- Being a great leader:  You must be interested in finding the best way, not having your own way.
- Being able to show that every member on this team is so important.  Each role is CRUCIAL for the DEVELOPMENT of our team.
- MOTIVATE team mates, teach them, help them, lead them!
**Self analysis is crucial for improvement.  Take advice from coaches, we're here for YOU!

#3. Teach respect and have good character (no showboating):
- Respect EVERYONE.  You might not like them but you will respect them.
- "While you can't control what happens to you, you can control how you react. Make good manners an automatic reaction."
- No showboating-- You've got to get the FUNDAMENTALS down, because other wise the fancy stuff is NOT going to work.

#4. Breaking through the "Brick Walls"/ Perseverance:
- Persistence is a continued effort:
- Hustle can make up for a lot of mistakes!
*When something doesn't go as planned we need to stay persistent with moving forward, learning from our mistakes, and continuing towards our goals.
- You, and only YOU, can decide wether you will stay the course.

#5.  Be thankful for opportunities you are given!  SEEK OPPORTUNITIES THAT WILL FURTHER YOUR SUCCESS:
- Past success does not guarantee future success!  It comes back to perseverance.  THE CONTINUED EFFORT!  Just because we made it to CIF last year does not mean it is given to us again this year.  We need to stay persistent with our development.

YOUR OPPORTUNITY IS NOW!  WORK HARD NOW TO ACHIEVE YOU FUTURE GOALS!

LUCK INDEED IS WHERE PREPARATION MEETS OPPORTUNITY.
- Lets prepare ourselves as best we can this season to create opportunities for our future.

#6.  Be here for my team and be a positive leader:
- Strive for the self satisfaction that always comes from knowing you did the best you could to become the best of which you are capable of.
- I hope to continue to earn your respect as you will all earn mine.  
- I expect the team to work to the fullest potential as I will work as hard as I can for you all.


 
Unity is Strength.
I hope you all can strive for excellence and come up with some individual and team goals for yourselves!
