SportsLeader Virtue of the Week
|
One pillar of the SportsLeader program is a weekly virtue that we incorporate into our athletic practices and throughout our school community. Every week, we will share them here to encourage the students to take the virtue into their homes as well!
Our virtue this week is ENDURANCE - The strength to suffer through adversity with courage. Beginning new activities is relatively easy but sticking with them, especially when the "newness" wares off and the going gets tough ... only through ENDURANCE will we fight through and accomplish our goals and dreams.
