    At MULES cross-country and volleyball, we believe that success goes far beyond wins and losses. Each season, we focus on building strong character in our athletes. This season’s featured trait is GRATITUDE — the quality of appreciating people or things, or doing something good to make others feel happy.  An attitude of gratitude is displayed when athletes say thank you, appreciate quality, work hard, do NOT give up, show kindness to others, and display a “growth mindset”. 

    Examples of gratitude include: (1) cheering on runners from ALL schools during a race, (2) encouraging and thanking ALL runners for good competition, (3) giving high-fives to teammates after a play to acknowledge the process of hard work, (4) positively accepting the outcome of a game (win or loss) because something new was learned from experiences in the game, and (5) shaking hands and thanking the opposing team for a good game because challenge makes us stronger and smarter.

    We encourage our parents and coaches to reinforce these messages at home, in the stands, and during practice. When we model and support responsible behavior, we help our young athletes become stronger competitors and even better people.

    Thank you for being part of the MULES family and for helping us grow champions with character!
