Blogging the Journey: Setting the Vision

I have not recorded any happenings recently with the journey of the Mount Aloyisuis Men's basketball team. On August 27, we had our first team meeting where the vision for the season was clearly set...to make the AMC Playoffs in 2009. With MAC becoming an official member of the NCAA Division III, we have successfully completed our probationary period as a D3 school and are now eligible to participate in conference playoffs. What does this mean for the school? It gives the players, coaches and staff members in all sports something to play for! In order to be able to meet our season goal of making the playoffs, there are a couple areas of focus for the 2008-09 season:
1. Academics: maintain academic success in the classroom
2. Appearance: maintain a healthy appearance on and off the court, in the classroom and in the community
3. Individual Development: develop as an individual on the court and off the court.
4. Cohesiveness: become closer as a family off the court to ensure trust on the court.

The last couple weeks we have implemented a few things to help us acheive success in those areas, which includes weekly studyhalls and "Family Night". Along with their normal open gym schedules, we are meeting as a team off of the court two times each week to help us become better students in the classroom and better teammates off the court.

Go Mounties!
