Cultivating Positive Community

Great programs don't just happen. Ninety-nine percent of the time, state championship teams have a community who rallies behind and believes in their players, their team, their coaches, athletic director, and administration. The selfish mentality consumed more with "me" than "we" is a cancer. It is an incredibly hard to work as a coach/teacher/administration under this condition; and quite honestly any other cooperatively slanted vocation. My hope would be that the high school players in Ubly, as well as the rest of Huron county will be able to feel a community backing that believes in them as a whole. How great a culture we could create if we could only look past the pessimism and focus on being positive. This culture has to start in each of our lives, our homes, and our families. If we aren't willing to support our community, we should never expect success.

Great programs don't just happen.

Positive Communities don't just happen.

This sort of tight knit atmosphere begins at a personal level and moves to a communal level.

It starts with me, you, and us on an individual level.
