Mission Statement and Philosophy Statement Reflection
I developed my mission and philosophy statements almost two years ago when I got to this point in the program before illness had me hospitalized. Now as I have had two years experience in my career and revisit them, I have somewhat of a fresh perspective.

These include physical, mental and emotional development of the student-athletes. It also provides policies for coaches to use in many of the situations that a coach might encounter while working with the program.

I also based many of the items of the Code of Ethics publicized by the Florida High School Athletic Association.
