In addition to building a strong skills-based foundation among our players, our program is equally interested in establishing core values, character traits & habits to support the growth of the whole person. The Fierce Five framework is incorporated into multiple aspects of our program and is a critical part of what we carry with us on and off the field.
Mental Toughness | Having emotional control & confidence during challenges. Ex: When a player on the other team fouls me, I remain calm & continue to play my game. | |
Growth | Continuing to learn & make progress. Ex: When I am having difficulty learning a skill, I keep trying without getting discouraged because I know that I will improve with feedback and practice. | |
Integrity | Doing the right thing even when nobody’s watching. Ex: When my coach asks me how many goals I scored in a shooting competition, I tell her the correct number even if it’s lower than the player on the other team. | |
Hard Work | Giving full effort & pushing beyond my comfort zone. Ex: When we are doing strength exercises, and my coach turns her back, I finish them all with good technique even when I’m really tired. | |
Fun | Enjoying the game with others. Ex: When my team is losing a game, I continue to enjoy playing, competing, & working to improve with my teammates. |
