Character Development

At ELEVATE we take on an inside-out approach. Therefore, by focusing on the development of the athletes inside character, the development of their outside skill and performance will easily follow suit. “Hard work beats talent when talent does not work hard”. Simply put, you can have all the talent and skill in the world, but if you do not know how to work hard in every drill, persevere in difficult times or pressured situations, or are loyal and committed to your team and teammates, opportunities in your pursuit will be minimized.

We believe in teaching our players the following 4 Goals:

  1. Listen to your coach
  2. Try the very best you can
  3. Be a great teammate
  4. Have fun!

We follow the performance Glossary from “What Drives Winning”, by Brett Ledbetter. We seek to develop each Character Skill on the following glossary:
