Basketball at Henryville High School is a unique experience.1. Mental Toughness: It will be demanding physically and mentally to prepare our young men for life.
2. Team: We will work together, struggle together, grow together and ultimately succeed together. We want their direction to be a positive direction if they can stay with us for four years.
3. Achievement: It is our purpose to help young men develop the ability to truly maximize their gifts in an environment where educational and athletic achievements are a priority.
4. The journey: It is the process that will make us successful. We will become aware of the importance of the vital personal relationships that really test and develop us.
5. What we do and how we do it: In the basketball program results are important in that they are a large part of defining excellence and determining the quality of what we do, and yet how we do things is as important as what we do.
6. The future: Development of the qualities of personal and team leadership, accountability to each other, perseverance in the face of adversity, singleness of purpose and an understanding of the importance of doing our best each day will help these young men lead lives of significance beyond their high school years.
I borrowed some of this from Coach Don Meyer, but adapted it to what I wanted for us. We often fall short in the above traits, but it is something that we strive for each day.
