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 APPRECIATION - The strength to recognize and enjoy someone's good qualities or actions.
An APPRECIATIVE team is tough to beat! They are dedicated to recognizing each other's strengths and specific roles and actively communicate those to teammates. Everybody carries themselves differently when they APPRECIATE others and are APPRECIATED as well and that makes a big difference.
