Every team has their own culture or set of values. They have core missions and attitudes that they strive to personify. Our team at Swarthmore College is known by their “SPIRIT.”
“Spirit” to us means believing in Servant Leadership. It means doing all you can and whatever you can to help and assist your team and teammates.
It means having passion for the game of basketball. Loving it so much that you strive to be the best you can be. It means understanding the intangible rewards that come from working your butt off with a group of people you care about to achieve your goals.
It means being a person of integrity. Doing the right thing, even when no one is looking.
It means taking responsibility for your actions. Fulfilling your obligations and commitments, and when you don’t – admitting your mistakes and making amends.
It means having the desire to get better, and to work towards getting better – 1% everyday.
It means playing together. Working together. Coming together. Believing that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
