3. ACA Philosophy of Athletics
 Coaches are teachers, trainers, and mentors to athletes. We teach skills and help athletes improve these skills so that athletes can reach their potential. Our goal is to help athletes grow and develop psychologically and socially. Our philosophy is athlete-centered in which the athlete’s well-being and development are the primary considerations. Our goal is to ensure safety, long-term personal and athletic development. We strive to foster a positive attitude toward lifetime fitness while establishing a healthy attitude toward winning and losing to develop character. We also strive to create a positive, healthy, and fun atmosphere for athletes while learning to balance between school demands and athletic challenges.
