We are a team coming a pretty solid year with quite a bit returning, I am having a hard time (for the first time coming up with a theme for this coming season) as I don't want it to have any tie to past years (ie tradition continues, or brick by brick, ect.) I believe every year is a new experience with new challenges and I really want our focus this year to be built around our leadership. Our group back is a bunch of really high character kids that tend to be a bit hesistant to put themselves out there amongst their peers. My Seniors we just graduated were similar but ultimately developed that skill likely due to some heavy adversity we faced early in the season. I would like to develop a motto around the following themes please share if you have a good one you have used or think of.
1. Leadership or developing leadership
2. This is a new experience a new team a new challenge (we have won some games so this isn't a goal to change our pathway)
3. Selflessness and the thought of servant leadership.
4. The concept of developing younger players or being inclusive to those who may not possess as much talent.

Wow, to get all that into a motto that was memorable and able to be regurgitated (by kids) easily would take something mnemonic or alliterative.
How 'bout:
NEW YEAR
NEW TEAM
NEW LEADERS
NEW CHALLENGES

How 'bout: NEW YEAR NEW TEAM NEW LEADERS NEW CHALLENGES That is what I do overanalyze simple stuff.... I appreciate the input though the term "New" certainly fits the concept of the challenges we will face this fall. As a guy who has always enjoyed walking into underdog situations potentially being a favorite is a new ground for me that I'm not all that comfortable with yet. I look at our weaknesses and don't yet see that boy who will take the bull by the horns and demand excellence... Bruce I always value your input as I know your a guy who has actually walked in my shoes already! Or I walked in yours, semantics! |

Well, if that doesn't work, then:
THE PRIDE AND TRADITION OF THE BOBCATS
WILL NOT BE ENTRUSTED TO THE
TIMID OR THE MEEK

I have never really gotten the whole "need" for mottoes thing, but God bless you if you do.
