Athletic Philosophy

The purpose of the Tanglewood athletic program is to provide an opportunity for each student athlete to participate and share in a positive environment of spirited competition. The Tanglewood athletic staff’s goal is to instill basic values that build character, self-discipline, and self-esteem as an individual and member of a team.

 
Athletic Goals & Objectives
The goals and objectives of the Tanglewood athletic staff are to guide each student towards becoming a more effective citizen through the following learning opportunities:

• Cooperation — Understand the concept of teamwork: self-discipline, respect for others, pride, loyalty, trust, and commitment.

• Self-Discipline — Do what you are supposed to do, when you are supposed to do it, to the best of your ability. 

• Sportsmanship — Accept any defeat as a true sportsman, knowing we have done our best.

• Improvement — One must establish goals and constantly work towards achieving those goals, improving in the skills and knowledge that enhance the success of the team.

• Success — We do not always win, but we succeed when we continually strive to do our best.  One can learn to accept defeat by striving to win with earnest dedication.

• Fitness — Develop desirable personal health habits for a lifetime of fitness.

• Leadership — Develop leadership skills on and off of the field.
