OBJECTIVES
- As a teacher, I will guide each student on his or her individual path to becoming a self-motivated learner, and
encourage them to take responsibility for their own physical, intellectual, and social well-being.
- As a coach, I will motivate my athletes to achieve milestones greater than their own visions, while developing
successful habits, skills, and personal characteristics that will carry over to their every day life.
