COMMIT TO THE TEXAS WAY

Success on the field—and in life—isn’t built in a moment. It’s built over time. The Texas Way calls us to recommit to excellence again and again.

Commitment, The Texas Way, is a decision we make daily.

PILLAR ONE

RESPECT FOR OTHERS

Respect for Others is a commitment to give respect to all participants (coaches, players, officials, and fans) because of who I am, not because of what they do.

Respect, The Texas Way, is given generously.

PILLAR TWO

CONTROL OF SELF

Control of Self is a commitment to give boundaries to our thoughts, words, and actions, and to control our anger in the face of competition and adversity.

Self Control, The Texas Way, is to handle adversity with class, and keep your anger in check.

PILLAR THREE

SPIRIT OF COMPETITION

Spirit of Competition is a commitment to give everything we have to be the absolute best we can be, and to put our team in the best position to win, but we will not sacrifice our integrity to do it.

Competition, The Texas Way, is about more than a scoreboard.
