Inspiring Passions and preparing Foundations for college
The goal of the athletic program is to provide an opportunity for all students to experience the exhilaration of competing both as an individual and as a team, and to excel to the best of their abilities. The program is an integral part of the Heathwood Hall education, and students who take advantage of the varied athletic opportunities become not spectators but participants.
Excellence and winning are important to any competitive program, and no one enjoys being part of a losing organization. It is clear that success breeds success and brings with it a tremendous pride and spirit to a school community. It is important that we are able to accept losing; we learn from all our mistakes. However, we should never be indifferent about the outcome of our efforts. We need to teach our student athletes that the most significant measure and standard for performance is not in winning, but in giving the best one has to offer to your team and yourself.
