BE COMMITTED TO HAVING CLASS - Treat teachers, trainers, support staff, referees and all you meet with respect. Treat other people the way you want to be treated. Moody people are rude. Remember to smile, to say please, thank you, yes sir, and yes ma'am, and give people the benefit of the doubt.

BE COMMITTED TO DOING THE RIGHT THING - We have plenty of school rules ... know them. Realize if you just try to do the right thing you will be OK. Try to do the next right thing right and you are as close to perfect as any person can be.

BE COMMITTED TO THE PROGRAM - We realize that our players are in a fish bowl at South Hills. Every word and action will be watched. Our program's reputation provides many opportunities yet brings many responsibilities. We must be committed to build on to the tradition of our program and respect those that have gone before us and paid the, price to build the program.

COMMIT YOURSELF TO A WINNING ATTITUDE - Our players must be-committed to winning but understand we don't measure our success by winning alone. Each time we play we evaluate ourselves on reaching our potential. The test for our team is to play against the game not just our opponent. We never quit. We always are looking for a way to win.

TO WIN HERE:

BELIEVE IN OUR SYSTEM - commit yourself to our philosophy, to our system of play. Be a sponge and soak up the con cepts of how we play. learn your role ... then accept your role and do it the best you can.

BELIEVE IN YOUR TEAMMATES - Communicate with each other ... help each other. Remember the strength of the pack is the wolf and the strength of the wolf is the pack. Encourage each other and support each other. Don't ever forget the importance of the shell around the team. Be a friend. We understand that we are all different - be tolerant of team mates and others.

BELIEVE IN YOUR COACHES - Understand that your coaches are trying to help make you better people and players. Ask questions ... don't whine and complain. learn to take tough coaching.You must believe that the coaches are doing what they think is right for the team and you.
