I want to speak on one of our core values: Perseverance

def: “persistence in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success.”

In Romans 5: 3-5 Paul speaks on this saying sufferings produce perseverance, perseverance builds character, and character builds hope. 

I want our boys to be challenged. I want them to embrace the difficulty of learning this game so that they can develop the perseverance to overcome a challenge in life. I want kids to try to delay gratification and strive for something that they can’t see right now. Perseverance embraces the process driven mindset while letting results only be a marker for their current circumstances so they have a frame of reference for their development. You most likely don’t remember your win/loss record when you were your kids’ age or find that it had no impact on your future, but you do still carry on the lessons learned and apply them still today.
