3. Athletic Philosophy Vision Statement
At Ada Exempted Village Schools, we believe interscholastic athletic programs play an integral role in the total education and growth for student – athletes. It is our mission to provide an environment for development of the student – athlete by promoting the following qualities upon graduation through professional guidance, community support and administrative leadership:
Open to Growth
Desire for excellence and continual self – improvement
Intellectually Competent
Understanding the relationship between preparation and performance
Thankful
Awareness of and gratitude for opportunity and success within human endeavor
Servant – Leadership
Unselfishness for the sake of the common good; Seeking the best for others
Committed to Doing Justice
Sportsmanship under pressure; responsibility for personal decisions

4. PURPOSE – RESPECT – INTEGRITY – DISCIPLINE – EXCELLENCE
BULLDOG PRIDE
We aim to create a program in which the following core values are constantly emphasized. It is our goal to instill these values in our student- athletes in such a way that they ultimately learn from their athletic experiences that there is depth to life and sport beyond merely winning and losing.
PURPOSE – RESPECT – INTEGRITY – DISCIPLINE – EXCELLENCE
Purpose
There is one quality that everyone must possess in order to achieve anything in life, and that is conviction of purpose. Having knowledge of a burning desire to possess it drives success.
Respect
We respect everyone but fear none. We treat everyone in contact with the program with respect. Our programs’ strength depends on the unity and diversity of our members, on the sharing of ideas, and on learning, working, and playing united.
Integrity
Integrity in athletics is the essence of sportsmanship under pressure. Good sportsmanship and high moral character are important to the successes of our programs. Integrity involves doing the right thing because it is the right thing to do.
Discipline
“The vision of a champion is one, bent over, drenched in sweat, at the point of exhaustion, when no one else is looking.” Pushing yourself without seeking the recognition or approval of others is discipline. We meet victory and defeat the same: Get up the next day to get better.
Excellence
We strive for competitive greatness and aspire for excellence in all areas of our lives. We give our best when our best is required – all the time. Winning is not everything. Wanting to succeed is.
