These are choices that are above and beyond day-to-day decisions to go against what is popular and cool among peers and to focus on the path of great success.

Locker Room / Discipline • • No Hazing Policy (AIA, CUSD, School Level and Program) No Bullying Doesn’t matter how small or big – Zero Tolerance Policy Locker Room Culture Knowing the athletes (relationships) Open Door Policy All athletes are issued a lock Discipline (if an athlete can’t discipline oneself then a coach must) – Situational Discipline (Isolated or Team) – We can all learn from an isolated incidence – Example: why did Mitchel have to run for Johnny’s mistake? The answer: Mitchel may think twice now if ever put in that same position.

Accountability – Player & Coaches Coach’s Discretion • Coach/Player Communication – Ex: 1 on 1 conversation • Peer Support – Team Captains, Seniors • Film Study – Grading Plays, Technique • Conditioning – Physical & Mental • Communicate with Parents • Position; Depth Chart • Playing Time • Team Membership • Removal from all team activities

Topics NOT Open for Discussion with Coach • Topics NOT Open for Discussion – Game Strategy – Playing Time – Position

Team Before Self • The Team must come before the individual – The coaching staff will objectively assess each player’s ability within the context of our team to place our team in the best position to be successful as a whole and to put your son in what we believe is the best position(s) for him to blossom. • Position/Play Time Concerns/etc. – If your son would like to play a specific position or is concerned about anything involving game and team strategy, playing time, touches of the football, etc. – Parents. . . DO NOT come to any coach about this, but have your son MAN-UP and bring his concern(s) to coach directly.

Best Way to Approach Coach • “Coach, what can I work on to help my team be more successful? ” • “Coach, what can I work on to get better at ______ so I can earn a spot on ______? ” • “What positions do you think I can help my team the most? ”
