Our Purpose
Hale CC Team Standards
In 2018, we built our actions around a set of 7 team standards. These standards transcend our sport and represent the standards we set for ourselves at all times. The coach's will provide unconditional love to each member of the team, and the men on the team will love and support each other always. We aren't student athletes, we are people. We look to serve others, love each other, and provide a super positive environment. We are a part of something amazing, with an opportunity to be great. Not just great runners, but much more importantly, great men.
Our teams "crazy vision" last year was to get us back to the state meet as a team. Led by just one senior, our team came together and made that vision a reality. We now look to dream bigger and build off of our return trip. What crazy vision do you have this season?
Below are our team standards. Under no circumstances does our team deviate from our standards. They are what guide us through big races or challenging moments.
1. For The Team. We find success together. We fight for each other and genuinely care for others. Only together as a team can we achieve the highest possible success. We do take care of ourselves and our jobs, but recognize the team is what brings our success.
“A strong team can take any crazy vision and turn into a reality.” -John Carmack
"All that we send into the lives of others comes back into our own."
2. Character. We represent ourselves and our program with everything we do. We strive to be kind people and choose to do what is right. We compete against, but respect, our fellow competitors. We thank coaches, meet officials and our parents that make what we do possible. We are not just there for our teammates, but there for everyone in our community and school that may need a pick me up or a friend. Invite the kid sitting by himself to eat lunch with you, stand up for the kid being bullied, and give a helping hand to anyone because it's the right way to act.
“You are who you choose to be.” - The Iron Giant Movie
“You’ve got to be yourself, and if you’re not, you’re a phony. It comes shining through if you’re not careful.” - Jack Harbaugh
3. No Complaining. On this team, we love running, training, improving, competing and winning. We never take shortcuts because we understand our purpose. Have perspective of what it really means to have it hard. We have nothing to complain about.
“Know that you have complete control over what you put in your mouth. No one ever ate anything by accident.” Charles Poliquin
4. No Excuses. We are appreciative of what we have and make the most of our situations. We control what we can, and focus on being our best each day. When things go wrong, we never blame.
“I’ll never take the easy way out.” - Colin Kaepernick
5. Find A Way We overcome obstacles. We make the unknown become known. We do things that the average person could never dream of, and we are driven from our purpose of never lowering our standards. We also help others overcome and are there to help when needed.
“Our success has not been a continual series of victories. We have had a number of devastating setbacks; how these are handled is the making of a great team...winning does not happen in straight lines.” - Sir Clive Woodward
“Power isn’t just about going forward. It’s about not letting anything hold you back.” - Patrick Willis
6. Be Accountable We are reliable, communicative and committed. We are there for one another. We do things that are not easy. We communicate dates and practices with our parents/guardians. We commit to attending every practice and competition. We commit to excellence in all of our endeavors, and are never "too busy" to accomplish or attend to what is important.
“Only those who never stand up, never fall down.” John Kavanagh
7. Max Effort. We do everything with purpose. We understand to be in the moment, and give our best toward what we are doing. Being able to put max effort into what we do allows us to be prepared achieve success on the big stages. Intention and purpose!
“Let’s be the best at everything that requires no talent.” -Paul O’connell
“I’ve always been able to live with failure but I’ve never been able to live with not doing the best that I could.” - Wayne Bennett
Our Purpose
- Foster love and selflessness
- Remove self-imposed limitations and commit to achieving meaningful goals
- Create lasting memories and friendships
