Hopkins Cross Country Parent-Athlete Introduction Meeting
Our Program Mission Statement
The Hopkins cross country program seeks to create a positive culture where every athlete, regardless of natural ability, is
committed to achieving her very best, and to selflessly aiding those around her do the same. We want every athlete to
achieve the feeling of self-satisfaction that comes as a direct result of achieving her potential. We accomplish this through
steadfast support for the fundamental value of each team member within strict adherence to the team concept.
To accomplish this mission, we have six basic rules:
Rule #1: Be Here
● If you must miss practice, the athlete should contact a coach, in advance wherever possible.
● You must know the practice and meet schedule. Each event is mandatory.
Rule #2: Give Effort
● Make sure you have a watch so you can help govern your effort.
● Aim to be the best at getting better.
Rule #3: Control What You Can Control
● Please plan around our schedule to the greatest extent possible.
● This is a partnership – we will adjust to you as long as you do your best to work with us.
Rule #4: You Can Always Do More Than You Think You Can
● You must be brave enough to dream big.
● You have no idea how good you are, and you should be open to the possibility that you can do things you have never,
ever done.
Rule #5: Your Best Effort Is Good Enough
● You are good enough, just as you are. So just do your best.
● Mistakes made in pursuit of your very best are awesome, expected, and encouraged.
Rule #6: Live The Life
● You must strive to get enough sleep.
● You must strive to set limits on technology use.
● You must have a daily plan to get your homework done in order to get to bed on time.
● You must be prepared to eat often and enough, every day.
● You must take steps to be hydrated every day.
● You must be responsible to get enough iron in your diet, all the time.
● Your social and emotional health matters tremendously, and it’s OK to struggle. But it’s also important to seek help
when you need it.
● When you struggle with any or all of these things, you should talk to a teammate or coach.
● When you see a teammate struggling with any or all of these things, you should reach out to help.
● If you are a female, once your period begins, you should get it regularly.
NOTE: Whenever any of you struggle with any of these rules, it is the role of the coaching staff to support your effort to
grow and improve throughout the year as you pursue your very best. And we will do whatever we can to help you on your
journey.
