Quote of the Week:
"Uncomfortable doesn't mean bad, uncomfortable simply means you're doing something you haven't done before." - Joe Vitale
Thank you:
To the students who showed up to support our Volleyball team at BV last week. GREAT JOB. You were loud and proud to be Spartans! A healthy student section makes the game more fun and enjoyable for both sides. You kept it “mostly“ classy (always room for improvement) and supported your fellow Spartans to the final whistle. I am excited for you all to carry that energy through to our home events over the next few weeks. You all are "gonna be, gonna be Golden".

AD’s Remarks:
The Ancient Spartans had a code that helped govern and guide their lives. Some of that code is outdated and wouldn’t survive in modern times, but we can still glean valuable life lessons from those Spartan Rules. One of the Rules is to: Find ways to implement short bursts of discomfort in your daily life. This will ensure growth and prevent you from stagnation.
In the new year as we are trying new things and athletes are pushing their bodies in new ways, we need to remember that being uncomfortable is not a bad thing, it is helping us grow stronger. Trying a new college course that is more difficult than expected, making friends with a new group of students, trying a new position on a team or pushing yourself in the weight room are all things can make you uncomfortable, but with continued reps and perseverance we can expand our comfort zone into new arenas we didn’t think we could before! Like Rumi says, “We can’t fix it, if we never face it!”
Question of The Week: Each week we will add a thought provoking question to talk about with your athlete/family.
Who is the best LEARNER in your life? Name three reasons you picked that person.
