The Academic Plan• Always be on time. This cannot be over-emphasized. By being on time, you

are telling a teacher that you respect them and their class rules.• Being in class is not a team endeavor. • Remember that in any classroom the teacher is the absolute authority, so

follow his/her rules and show respect at all times. Be a leader in the classroom.

• Dress neatly – shoes tied, no caps in the building, hair neat and clean.• Before class starts, make sure you have all your materials.• Once class starts, keep your mouth closed unless you are asking or

answering a question.• Never prepare to leave class before it ends. Closing of books, zipping of

backpacks, etc. are between class activities.• Be a leader in the classroom. Assist the teacher in every way possible.• Make sure you turn in all assigned work, on time, and complete. With proper

planning, you will get everything done in all of your classes.• Do your homework as soon as possible after class.• Never be afraid to ask questions or for help. This is how people learn.• If you miss a day of class, before you leave, make arrangements to make up

tests, assignments, or papers.• DON’T MAKE EXCUSES! Anyone can make excuses for why something

didn’t get done. The most successful people are the ones who find ways to get it done!

Mustang Parents

• We coach our players like they are our sons.

• Every decision made is based around one question, “is this the best choice for our players?”

• We believe, stress, and teach priorities.

• We require your child's undivided attention when we are teaching.

• The team always comes first. We have no stars.`

Mustang Parents cont’• Athletes are played because:

– They have a positive attitude– They do the things that are required plus more.– They add the most value to the team.– They understand their role on the team.– Their number one goal is to make the team better.– They get the job done better than someone else.

• A parent's influence or position makes no difference.

• A player will play his best college potential position only if it's best for our team.

• Players who do not work out with the team in the summer start at the bottom of the depth chart.

• Publicity is used to promote our team, school, and community.

Mustang Parents cont’

• Schedule meetings ahead of time. After a game is not a good time for either of us.

• NEVER make contact with an assistant coach regarding a situation that would be perceived as negative. This will always go through me first.

• Remember our philosophy when evaluating a situation. (The Team always comes before the Individual.)

• My door is always open and so is my mind; please have the same attitude
