High School athletics are used as a venue to teach, learn, and develop
life skills. Individuals must give of themselves to make a 'team' both cohesive
and successful. How a player reacts to both positive, and especially negative
situations, usually is a standard for the measurement of both team and individual success.
Players must realize that as a member of the Shawnee Mission West soccer program, they represent not only the soccer
program, but further more their parents, coaches, administration, student body, and the Shawnee Mission District and community. This is both a great accomplishment and responsibility. Furthermore, the student-athlete must realize all actions on and off the playing field are a direct reflection
on the groups stated above. Act as a proud member of your family, team, and school. Sports are played, coached, and watched for enjoyment, therefore revel in the opportunity
in a positive manner so you will be looked upon as a role model.
