L'Anse Creuse North Girls Soccer
Core Values
1. We don’t whine. – This individual can handle any situation and never complain about anything on or off the field.
2. The truly extraordinary do something every day. – This individual has remarkable self discipline, and does the preseason workouts from beginning to end without omission or substitution, and every day has a plan to do something to get better.
3. And we want to these four years of high school to be rich, valuable, and deep. – This is that focused individual that is here for the “right reason” to get an education. She leads her life with the proper balance and an orientation towards her intellectual growth, and against the highest public standards and most noble universal ideals, she makes “good decisions” to best represent herself, her team, and her school.
4. We work hard. – This individual embodies the “indefatigable human spirit” and never stops pushing herself. She is absolutely relentless in training and in the match.
5. We don’t freak out over ridiculous issues or live in fragile states of emotional catharsis or create crises where none should exist. – The best example is the even keeled stoic that is forever unflappable. The worst example is the “over-bred dog” that high maintenance, overly sensitive “flower” that becomes unstable or volatile over nothing significant.
6. We choose to be positive – Nothing can depress or upset this powerful and positive life force – no mood swings, not even negative circumstances can affect this “rock”.
7. We treat everyone with respect. – This is the angel that goes out of her way to never separate herself from anyone or make anyone feel beneath her.
8. We care about each other as teammates and as human beings. – This is that non-judgmental, inclusive friend that never says a negative thing about anyone and embraces everyone because of their humanity, with no elitist separation by academic class, social class, race, religious preference etc.
9. When we don’t play as much as we would like we are noble and still support the team and its mission. – This remarkably noble, self sacrificing, generous human being always places the team before herself.
10. We play for each other. – This is the kind of player that works herself to death covering for all of her teammates in the toughest games. Her effort and care (her verbal encouragement) make her a pleasure to play with and her selflessness helps everyone around her to be a better player.
11. We are well led. – This is the verbal leader on the field that is less concerned about her popularity and more concerned about holding everyone to their highest standards and driving her teammates to their potential. This person competes all the time and demands that everyone do as well!
12. We want out lives (and not just in soccer) to be never ending ascensions but for that to happen properly our fundamental attitude about life and our appreciation for it is critical. - This is that humble, gracious high-achiever that is thankful for everything that she has been given in life, and has a contagious generosity and optimism that lights up a room by just walking into it.
