- Truly believes the interest of the team ALWAYS comes first
- Will give blood, sweat, and tears for the benefit of the team
- Always knows at the end of the day he competed like a champion
- Uses mistakes to improve instead of excuses
- Does the little things right when no one is looking
- Finds a way to give a little more than what is asked and takes a little less than what is deserved
- Think you can and you do
- Compete without the option of defeat
- Does the dirty work (box out, defense, communicate, dive on the floor, etc.)
- Play through pain without causing a scene
- Encourage, cheer, and build up teammates
- Is a “trail blazer” not a follower
- Does not allow others to talk negatively about the team or individuals associated with the team
- Expect and demand the best from teammates
- Take pride in facility and name on the jersey
- Donate time and energy to give back and better the program. Not asking what’s in it for me
LEADERSHIP- It’s what separates WINNERS from LOSERS
