Bulldog Pride
PRIDE and spirit is something that has to be developed. The better person you are, the harder you work, the greater your sacrifice, the more pride you will have. You will not gain any pride or any school spirit for that matter by a half-hearted performance. The level of your pride is, therefore, directly proportional to the extent of your effort. Strive to become the best person, the best son, the best student, and the best soccer player you can become.I take GREAT PRIDE in the SOCCER PROGRAM at Olmsted Falls and expect EVERYONE ASSOCIATED with the PROGRAM to EXEMPLIFY That PRIDE.
- Respect our game and all persons connected with it.
- Be a person of integrity. Try to do the right thing, because it is the right thing to do.
- Lead by example. Always strive for excellence but be humble.
- Do your best and help your teammates so they can do their best.
- Tolerate mistakes from teammates, opponents, coaches and officials who are doing their best.
- Have fun playing and training. Always keep a sense of humor and be able to laugh at yourself.
- Play to win, but not at any cost. Never forget, soccer is only a game
Program Philosophy
- I believe that Academics take priority over sports
- I believe that the way a person practices reveals his true character
- I believe that success doesn’t happen by accident; it requires hard work and dedication
- I believe that it is the player’s job to please the coach, not the coach’s job to please the player
- I believe that winning builds confidence and a program’s reputation
- I believe that adversity and losing builds character and defines what type of person we are
- I believe in giving one hundred percent effort in practice, and to work hard on improving ones weaknesses
- I believe that sportsmanship and team unity is more important than individual achievement
- I believe in creating an atmosphere that will encourage, nurture, and challenge your sons
- I believe that both negativism and positivism are highly contagious
- I believe in time-management: one can manage school and sports
- I believe that players must be fully responsible for themselves; do not get in the habit of blaming others for your performance
- I will treat your son, as I would want a coach to treat my daughter
