TLCBF—DUTCH FOOTBALL

 

TRUST

 

Def.— 1)  Assured reliance on the character, ability strength, or truth of someone or 

                  something.

2)     Dependence on someone

 

For our program to reach its full potential, we need:

 

A.    Coaches who trust coaches

B.    Players who trust coaches

C.    Coaches who trust players

D.    Parents who trust coaches

E.     Coaches who trust parents

 

We need to have people that can answer YES to the question, “Can I count on you?”

 

Can we trust you to:

 

Do you have a good SELF-IMAGE?  If you have a good self-image, you will have the confidence and attitude it takes to be successful.  If you have a low self-image, you cannot be a good leader.  You will always be looking for the approval of others.  You would be hard to trust.  You must first feel good about yourself before others will trust you.

 

Those who are trustworthy, have the attitude to get better and reach their full potential.

 

 

LOVE

 

Possibly the hardest word in the English language to define.  However, we believe that love certainly involves caring and serving.

 

 

I SAW A GROUP OF MEN IN MY HOMETOWN

 

            I saw a group of men

            Tearing a building down

            With a heave and a ho and a mighty yell

            They swung a beam and the sidewall fell

 

            I said to the foreman, “Are these men skilled?”

            The type you’d hire if you wanted to build?

            And he laughed and said, “Why no indeed”

            He said, “Common labor is all I need”

            For I can tear down in a day or two

            What it took a builder 10 years to do

           

I thought to myself as I walked away

            Which of these roles am I going to play?

            Am I the type that constantly tears down

            As I make my way foolishly around

            Or am I the type that’s trying to build with care

            In hopes that my community, family, or organization

            Will be glad that I was there

 

 

COMMITMENT

 

Def.—Agreement or pledge to do something

 

We believe the word “ACTION” is a key component of commitment.

“THINGS DON’T JUST HAPPEN.  YOU NEED TO MAKE THEM HAPPEN!”

ACTION includes:

 

 

 

YOUR NAME

Your name is very very valuable

               You got it from your father

               Maybe it was all he had to give

               But it’s yours to use and cherish

               For as long as you may live

 

               You may lose the watch he gave you

               It can always be replaced

               But a black mark on your name son,

               Can never be erased

 

            So guard it very closely

              Cause after all is said and done

            You’ll be glad the name is spotless

When you give it to your son

BELIEF

 

Def.—A state of mind in which trust or confidence is placed in some person or thing.

 

For us to reach our full potential as a team, you must first believe in yourself.  You must then believe in your teammates, your coaches, and in the program.

 

Thoughts about belief:

 

 

FAITH

 

Def.—Confident belief in the truth, value, or trustworthiness of a person.

            A belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence.

            Loyalty or allegiance to a person or thing.

 

Faith is very similar to, but different than belief.
