THOMAS JEFFERSON ATHLETIC MISSION
Thomas Jefferson's philosophy of athleticS in education
Interscholastic sports are an integral part of the overall school curriculum. Athletics are inherently educational and conform to the goals, values, and stated purposes of the school district. As coaches we concern ourselves with motivation each athlete to secure the finest possible education. We demand a commitment to excellence in athletics. Hopefully, we can help our athletes learn to transfer that commitment to real life. Athletes learn that dedication, sacrifice and hard work are necessary ingredients in performing any task leading to success.
Athletes in our program are in a unique position. They are part of a team and must learn to work and function effectively within a system composed of a diversity of personalities and an assortment of obstacles. Athletes also learn that they occupy a very visible role and must conduct themselves with character, poise, integrity, humility and honor at all times.
Coaches must always be aware of the tremendous influence of their position. Parents entrust their children to the coach's charge. Coaches teach by example and attempt to cultivate young people into responsible and productive citizens.
