THE ENEMY OF GREATTHE ENEMY OF GREATIS GOOD!IS GOOD!

“Good is the enemy of Great. And that is one of the key reasons why we have so little that becomes great. We don’t have great schools, principally because we have good schools. We don’t have great government, principally because we have good government. Few people attain great lives, in large part because it is just so easy to settle for a good life.”

1. 1. BE THE BEST PERSON YOU CAN BEBE THE BEST PERSON YOU CAN BE:: We must demand from each other that we be the best person we can

be with regard to character, honor and integrity. The player/coach must realize that his/her actions while a member of the Plymouth North Athletic Programs are a direct reflection on the entire School.

2. 2. BE THE BEST STUDENT YOU CAN BE:BE THE BEST STUDENT YOU CAN BE: Athletic participation is a privilege and school is a priority! We must

demand from ourselves that we do everything in our power to succeed in school. We must strive to do our best academically and behaviorally – we are leaders in our school.

3. 3. BE THE BEST PLAYER YOU CAN BE:BE THE BEST PLAYER YOU CAN BE: We must strive to become the best players/coaches we can possibly be.

Be 100% prepared! Remember this: if you are not working to be your best – someone else out there is, and when you meet them on the playing field – they will win.
