Training Philosophy
The 4 C’s: Commit to Compete with Communication and Consequence
Our training philosophy is built around the 4 C’s, which are designed to foster a high-intensity environment conducive to growth and development. We expect all players to bring their best to each workout session, embodying these principles:
- Commit: Dedication to every drill and exercise, understanding that hard work leads to improvement.
- Compete: Pushing oneself and others to higher levels through healthy competition.
- Communication: Engaging with coaches and teammates effectively to enhance team dynamics and individual understanding.
- Consequence: Recognizing the importance of each action and decision both on and off the field.
Our Expectations
We believe in setting high standards for our athletes, expecting them to embody a mindset that drives them to excel. This involves a commitment to:
- Never Be Tired: Maintain a strong work ethic, even when fatigue sets in.
- Never Be Distracted: Stay focused on the task at hand, resisting external distractions.
- Never Be Negative: Approach challenges with a positive attitude and a willingness to learn.
- Never Be Complacent: Continuously strive for improvement, no matter the level of success already achieved.
