slide3. CHESTERTON ATHLETICS MISSION & VISION MISSION
The mission of the Chesterton High School Athletic Department is to create an environment which prepares our young student-athletes to become men and women of character. To accomplish this goal, our program must reflect values such as honesty, respect, responsibility, and pride while demonstrating the importance of great individual effort within a team concept. VISION
Chesterton High School Trojans Athletics will be recognized as a model program and as a source of campus and community pride and respect by inspiring every athlete to pursue excellence.<br>
slide4. CHESTERTON ATHLETICS CORE VALUES 1. WE WORK HARD.
We embody the “indefatigable” human spirit and never stop pushing ourselves.
Everyday is a tryout
2. WE CHOOSE TO BE POSITIVE AND EMBRACE ADVERSITY WITH A STOIC INTENSITY.
Nothing can depress or upset us – no mood swings are negative circumstances can affect us – we are a “rock”.
Tough times and opposition makes us stronger, so we love it
We don’t freak out, get too down, or pout for mistakes or when bad situations happen
We control the controllables
3. WHEN WE DON’T PLAY AS MUCH AS WE WOULD LIKE, WE ARE NOBLE AND STILL SUPPORT OUR TEAM.
We are noble, self-sacrificing, generous – placing the team above ourselves
We support our teammates because we want them to succeed
We cheer from the sidelines<br>
slide5. CHESTERTON ATHLETICS CORE VALUES 4. WE PLAY AND CARE FOR EACH OTHER AS TEAMMATES AND HUMAN BEINGS
We avoid negative comments and body language toward other teammates
We help our teammates through drills no matter if they are our position or younger; we help our Trojan teammates through tough situations
5. WE DON’T WHINE OR COMPLAIN BECAUSE WE ARE TOUGH
We handle any situation and never complain on or off the athletic arena
We embrace tough situations because they will make us better
Challenges are opportunities
6. WE ARE WELL LED
We treat everyone around us with respect
We make those around us better
We are less concerned about popularity and more concerned about holding everyone to their highest standard and driving our teammates toward their potential.<br>
