Expectations for HJUHSD Athletes
Individual and team success in sports results from commitment. Athletes who are able to
make such commitments reflect their maturity to family, friends, school and team.
As an athlete in the Hanford Joint Union High School District, I commit myself …
• To be a worthy representative of my teammates and coaches, abiding by school
and community expectations and reflecting my team’s values of commitment and
hard work.
• To maintain my health, fitness and academic levels by following the training rules
as prescribed by the Athletic Department and the coach.
• To reflect the knowledge that a commitment to victory cannot be accomplished
without the commitment to hard work in practice.
• To attend every practice unless excused by my coach.
• To understand that my future as a responsible adult and citizen relates to my
academic and my athletic activities.
• To accept the responsibilities of team membership: cooperation, support of my
teammates, shared responsibilities, positive interaction, and mutual respect.
• To reflect my belief that true strength involves humility and that even the toughest
athlete is sensitive to the needs of others.
