Guys -
I'm getting some dogtags made up for my 5th/6th graders for an award...basically, a kid does something good (hustles, has a great game, helps an old lady carry her groceries, etc, etc) they will qualify.
I would like to have some kind of motivational acronym on it...something that reflects hustling, being a good teammate and citizen, etc, etc.
Anyone got some suggestions?

We also use the "REAL" acronymn, to teach our kids about what it means to be a "REAL" man:
Being a REAL man means that you:
R.espect all people, E.specially women. A.lways do the right thing. L.ive a life that matters.

I tell our players we've all seen "TEAM": Together Everyone Achieves More.
Which is great so far as it goes, but it doesn't tell us how to do that and become a Team.
So ours is
Toughness Effort Attitude Morale
Have always liked 'HHNQ' too - "Hustle, Hit, Never Quit."

Very Aggressive Guys In Nice Attire would this be an acronym for metro sexual?

This is on our helmets, on the name plate right between the screws. A disgruntled parent tried to change the acronym to something sexual - my principal, a woman, had apparently googled it, learned of it's origins and to his face said "that's not what it stands for" and started rattling off about Erk Russell...Georgia, Georgia Southern...etc. why would anyone be upset with Get After Them Aggressively I was surprised to say the least but the parent was in shock.

What is wrong with the second part of the GATA ATGSP. I still remember the varsity cheerleader who gave me my first beer and then stole my virginity. I aggressively fended her off and have been scared for life.

Listened to a presentation at a Glazier clinic from a HS coach. He uses his mascot as an acronym. They are the Thunder, so they used THOR. I am not going to be verbatim here, but it was something like this:
T - Toughness H - Heart O - (I can't remember what the O stood for, but you get the picture) R - Relentless
Although it is very subjective, the kids earned a bumper sticker with THOR on it when they displayed all these qualities. The coach said his kids bust their butt to make sure they get that bumper sticker.

Oh no...it wasn't the a$$ part, everyone here is 100% fine with that and a lot more language let me tell you. I'm sure I could change it to GATFA and no one would say much about it except for maybe some school personnel. Community wise - there would be no problem. He tried to say it stood for - Get After That A$$ and After The Game Get Some Pu**y. Can you imagine a 55 year old adult, saying that and then a 58 year old woman repeating it to me word for word? LOL - IDK man...there were 2 sets of parents up here who had bullied the previous HC and I don't know...it has been an entire deal here this first year. Like I said, for some I ruffled feathers, for others I plucked the whole damm chicken. we used to tell our teachers it stood for 'get a tough attitude' we all had black ties with GATA down the front with the mascot on the bottom for game days.
