GHS Athletics Philosophy
Glendora High School considers interscholastic athletics to be an important and integral part of the overall educational experience. Our athletic programs provide opportunities that will develop skills, self-esteem, and self-confidence in each student so that he or she can reach his or her greatest potential and develop lifetime skills that will enhance his or her life now, and in the future. Involvement in sports offers students avenues to achieve through participation in activities that require integration of mind and body, requiring them to strive for mental and physical excellence both in practice and in competition.
The Athletic Department seeks to hire highly qualified coaches, providing them with the unique opportunity to teach positive lifetime skills and values. In order to ensure that athletes are prepared for the commitment and personal sacrifice needed to be successful in athletics, coaches must help them develop and understand the roles that desire, dedication, and self-discipline play in reaching individual and team goals. These are lifetime values that promote and nurture integrity, pride, loyalty, and overall character.
While striving for victory is the nature of athletic competition, it is only one criterion when determining a season’s success. Guiding a team as well as an individual to reach his/her maximum potential is the ultimate goal. Along with this comes emphasis on good sportsmanship, including being modest in victory and accepting in defeat.
Victory with Honor!
