PHILOSOPHY AND GOALS OF THE ATHLETIC PROGRAM
Participation in athletics is an excellent tool for students to develop new skill sets, develop personal relationships, learn the value of communication with peers and those in positions of authority, learn accountability, learn the value of hard work, and learn how to accept and operate under a specific role within a team. Through competition, students also learn the value of goal setting and working as hard as necessary to achieve those goals.
The specific goals of the Athletic Program are:
- Promote the concept of teamwork, and the importance of teamwork to the overall success of the team.
- Promote the idea of accepting a role given to an individual within a team, and how important every role plays in the success of the team.
- Promote the idea of commitment, responsibility, and dedication.
- Teaching accountability and accepting responsibility for actions.
- Learn how to cope with losing/failure, and how to succeed with class and humility.
- Develop leadership skills.
- Promote the concept of good sportsmanship.
- Promote the idea of self-improvement.
- Promote the idea of healthy lifestyle choices.
- Promote the idea of pride in the individual, school, and community.
The mission of the Ector ISD Athletic Program is to develop student-athletes into hardworking, positive, productive members of our local community and in society as a whole, upon the completion of their athletic career. We want the lessons learned through the participation in athletics to lead to the development of lifelong skills that allow for a well rounded individual.
