“TAKE IT BACK” Who We Are: Cedar Park Football What do we Value

 We asked our athletes to describe our program in their own words to create our Core Values and what they believe they get by being a part of our program.

 The next slide lists everything they said, we grouped them under the 5 words that were listed the most, that we used as our Core Values.

 This represents a living document that defines who we want our kids to be, and what they think is important for them to live up to as members of our program. CORE VALUES

 The athletic trainer’s purpose is to ensure the safety and well-being of your athlete. They are the point of contact for any concerns that you might have in regard to an injury with your athlete. If you suspect an injury or have concern PLEASE consult with them before taking them to the doctor. Most physicians are not trained in sports medicine or sports injury, and most often the result is missed time that is not necessary and with no return to play protocol or information of treatment of injury. If our trainers suspect that they need to go to a doctor, they will give them information on the correct physician to see and help set up a visit. Again this is their first priority, so please respect the job that they have and keep them in the loop. Sports Physicals

 Each athlete MUST have a yearly physical, and fill out the appropriate information online before participating in athletics.  It is NEVER a good way to start the season missing practice because they didn’t get a physical or fill out the online paperwork during the 2 months of summer!  Physical Forms can be found Online or in the Athletic Training office.

If so Why? answers just listen.  What will be a successful season for  Why are you playing? me as a parent?  What is a successful season?  What are my goals for them?  What goals do you have?  What do I hope they gain from the experience?  What do you think your role will be on the team?  What do I think their role will be on this team? After the discussion

 Once you have heard your son’s answers and compared them to your own, if both sets of expectations are the same, GREAT. However, if your response is different, you need to change your attitude and accept the response of your son as your own belief. No Questions!  If you do not change your expectation, trouble can begin for your athlete. The resulting pressure, that will undoubtedly arise, will not help your player’s performance or make the season enjoyable for anyone involved.  Only one guarantee exists during a normal athletic season: it will not be “Perfect”. Even without disagreements between parents, players, and coaches, problems will always occur with relationships, playing time, individual and team success. However, it is essential that both players and parents have a mutual perspective on everyone’s expectations concerning your son’s athletic experience. It should always be about the TEAM!
