5. WHAT IS CULTURE? CULTURE IS THE OVERALL ENVIRONMENT YOU CREATE FOR YOUR PROGRAM THAT ENCOMPASSES VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING YOU DO FROM YOUR PROGRAM’S GOALS, VALUES, EXPECTATIONS, STANDARDS, DISCIPLINE, FEEDBACK, RECOGNITION, PUNISHMENT, LEADERSHIP, ETC. THE 6 C’S OF WHY CULTURE MATTERS CONDITIONS COAXES COMPLIMENTS CONSTRAINS COMPLEMENTS CONTROLS

6. CORE VALUES CORE VALUES ARE THE UNSHAKEABLE, BEDROCK PRINCIPLES YOUR PROGRAM BELIEVES ARE FOUNDATIONAL TO ITS SUCCESS. THEY ARE WHAT YOUR PROGRAM VALUES AND STANDS FOR - NO MATTER WHAT THE SITUATION. THESE NONNEGOTIABLE, SACRED VALUES DEFINE THE ESSENCE OF YOUR PROGRAM. BECAUSE THEY ARE SO CENTRAL TO YOUR PROGRAM, THE CORE VALUES SHOULD BE SHARED AND LIVED BY EVERYONE. YOUR CORE VALUES SERVE AS TRUE NORTH FOR YOUR PROGRAM, AND ALL YOUR DECISIONS SHOULD REVOLVE AROUND THEM.

7. CORE VALUES KEY QUESTIONS WHAT VALUES DO WE WANT CHICAGO CHRISTIAN KNIGHTS TO STAND FOR AND BE KNOWN BY? CAN WE AS A COMMUNITY OF COACHES, PLAYERS AND PARENTS UNITE TOGETHER IN OUR PURSUIT OF CHAMPIONSHIP CULTURE?

9. CORE VALUES CHICAGO CHRISTIAN ATHLETICS ARE BUILT ON 4 CORNERSTONES FROM THESE 4 CORNERSTONE PRINCIPLES, WE CULTIVATE THE CHAMPIONSHIP CULTURE WE DESIRE FOR CCHS CHARACTER COMMITMENT RELATIONSHIPS RESULTS

11. CORE VALUES CHARACTER – 1 SAMUEL 16:7 “THE LORD DOES NOT LOOK AT THE THINGS PEOPLE LOOK AT. PEOPLE LOOK AT THE OUTWARD APPEARANCE, BUT THE LORD LOOKS AT THE HEART.” COMMITMENT – PROVERBS 16:3 “COMMIT YOUR WORK TO THE LORD AND YOUR PLANS WILL BE ESTABLISHED.” RELATIONSHIPS – HEBREWS 10:24-25 “AND LET US CONSIDER HOW WE MAY SPUR ONE ANOTHER ON TOWARD LOVE AND GOOD DEEDS, NOT GIVING UP MEETING TOGETHER, AS SOME ARE IN THE HABIT OF DOING, BUT ENCOURAGING ONE ANOTHER.” RESULTS – 1 CORINTHIANS 9:24 “DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT IN A RACE ALL THE RUNNERS RUN, BUT ONLY ONE GETS THE PRIZE? RUN IN SUCH A WAY AS TO GET THE PRIZE.”

13. CHARACTER DISCIPLINE – HEBREWS 12:11 “FOR THE MOMENT ALL DISCIPLINE SEEMS PAINFUL RATHER THAN PLEASANT, BUT LATER IT YIELDS THE PEACEFUL FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS TO THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN TRAINED BY IT.” WITNESS – 2 CORINTHIANS 5:20 “WE ARE THEREFORE CHRIST’S AMBASSADORS, AS THOUGH GOD WERE MAKING HIS APPEAL THROUGH US.” PRIDE – ROMANS 1:16-17 “I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL, FOR IT IS THE POWER OF GOD FOR SALVATION TO EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES. FOR IN IT, THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IS REVEALED FROM FAITH TO FAITH, AS IT IS WRITTEN, BUT THE RIGHTEOUS MAN SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.”

14. CHARACTER DISCIPLINE – STUDENT ATHLETES ARE TRAINED IN A WAY THAT ALLOWS US TO BE OBEDIENT TO CHRIST WITNESS – WE REPRESENT OUR GOD, OUR FAMILIES, OUR SCHOOL, OUR TEAMS, AND OURSELVES AT ALL TIMES IN ALL PLACES PRIDE – WEAR CCHS GEAR AT ALL PRACTICES, ALL GAMES, ALL ROAD TRIPS

16. COMMITMENT HARD WORK – COLOSSIANS 3:23 “WHATEVER YOU DO WORK AT IT WITH ALL YOUR HEART AS WORKING FOR THE LORD, NOT FOR MEN SINCE YOU KNOW THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE AN INHERITANCE FROM THE LORD AS A REWARD. IT IS THE LORD CHRIST YOU ARE SERVING.” ENTHUSIASM – ROMANS 12:11-12 “NEVER BE LACKING IN ZEAL, BUT KEEP YOUR SPIRITUAL FERVOR, SERVING THE LORD ENTHUSIASTICALLY. BE JOYFUL IN HOPE, PATIENT IN AFFLICTION, FAITHFUL IN PRAYER.” GRIT – GALATIANS 6:9 “LET US NOT GROW WEARY OF DOING GOOD, FOR IN DUE SEASON WE WILL REAP, IF WE DO NOT GIVE UP.”

17. COMMITMENT HARD WORK – WHATEVER YOU DO, EVERY STUDENT ATHLETE ON EVERY TEAM, WORK AT IT WITH ALL YOUR HEART AS WORKING FOR THE LORD ENTHUSIASM – STRONG EXCITEMENT IN PURSUING THE GOALS OF BEING A STUDENT ATHLETE AND WEARING THE KNIGHTS UNIFORM GRIT – PASSION, PERSEVERANCE, AND SUSTAINED INTEREST TOWARDS LONG TERM GOALS

19. RELATIONSHIPS RESPECT – 1 PETER 3:8-9 “FINALLY, ALL OF YOU, LIVE IN HARMONY WITH ONE ANOTHER; BE SYMPATHETIC, LOVE AS BROTHERS, BE COMPASSIONATE AND HUMBLE. DO NOT REPAY EVIL WITH EVIL OR INSULT, BUT WITH BLESSING.” ENJOYMENT – PROVERBS 17:22 “A CHEERFUL HEART IS GOOD MEDICINE, BUT A CRUSHED SPIRIT DRIES UP THE BONES.” SELFLESSNESS – PHILIPPIANS 2:3-4 “DO NOTHING OUT OF SELFISH AMBITION OR VAIN CONCEIT, BUT IN HUMILITY CONSIDER OTHERS BETTER THAN YOURSELVES. EACH OF YOU SHOULD LOOK NOT ONLY TO YOUR OWN INTERESTS, BUT ALSO TO THE INTERESTS OF OTHERS.”

20. RELATIONSHIPS RESPECT – COACHES, UMPIRES, REFS, BUS DRIVERS, GAME WORKERS, FANS, AND TEAMMATES AT ALL TIMES ENJOYMENT – ALL KNIGHTS SHOULD HAVE FUN BEING MEMBERS OF OUR ATHLETIC TEAMS SELFLESSNESS – SERVANT LEADERSHIP AND PLACING THE TEAM AHEAD OF YOURSELF, WE BEFORE ME

22. RESULTS COMPETITIVENESS – MATTHEW 5:16 “IN THE SAME WAY, LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE BEFORE OTHERS, THAT THEY MAY SEE YOUR GOOD DEEDS AND GLORIFY YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN.” EXCELLENCE – 2 CORINTHIANS 8:7 “BUT SINCE YOU EXCEL IN EVERYTHING, IN FAITH, IN SPEECH, IN KNOWLEDGE, IN COMPLETE EARNESTNESS, AND IN THE LOVE WE HAVE KINDLED FOR YOU, SEE THAT YOU ALSO EXCEL IN THE GRACE OF GIVING.” QUALITY – PHILIPPIANS 4:8-9 “WHATEVER IS TRUE, WHATEVER IS HONORABLE, WHATEVER IS JUST, WHATEVER IS PURE, WHATEVER IS LOVELY, WHATEVER IS COMMENDABLE, IF THERE IS ANY EXCELLENCE, IF THERE IS ANYTHING WORTHY OF PRAISE, THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS. WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED AND RECEIVED AND HEARD AND SEEN IN ME – PRACTICE THESE THINGS, AND THE GOD OF PEACE WILL BE WITH YOU.”

23. RESULTS QUALITY – THE ON FIELD/COURT PRODUCT SHOULD BE AN EFFORT TO PUT OUR BEST FOOT FORWARDS AT THE VARSITY LEVEL EXCELLENCE – CELEBRATE BOTH ACADEMIC AND ATHLETIC VICTORIES AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS TOGETHER AS A SCHOOL COMPETITIVENESS – REGARDLESS OF SCORE, WE PLAY AS HARD AS WE CAN AT ALL TIMES
