Info for PV athletes and parents
New athletes/parents, please go back to last week's post and look at the important items at the top: registration, fees, physical, Parent Meeting slide show, communications (Binderly, Instagram), as well as uniform info.
This would be a great time to grab those last couple teammates that we need to get out to fill out our team. Get your friends that are on your other teams (soccer, basketball, football, volleyball...) and invite them out with you this week. We have a very strong team, but we could always use a few more teammates to fill in some spots and make it more fun!
This is also the last week to order from the Spirit Pack -

Jr./Soph./Fresh. girls - water bottles (usually they are 16.9oz). Everyone bring what you can. The more, the better. We will sell them at the meet, and we will use any extras to take to other meets for our team.

Skills camp will participate in their own workouts any days of the week from 3:00-4:30p. Spread the word to those who might want to participate.*This week, look at the above schedule for times*
Quote of the Week -
"NBA superstar Victor Wembanyama broke into tears after Spurs' 25 point comeback against the Clippers. The 'too cool' mentality is a dead end. Trying hard is cool. Pushing yourself to get getter is cool. Stepping into the arena is cool. Caring deeply is cool." - Brad Stulberg
In an Instagram post, Stulberg talks about the importance of caring. He continued on saying, "Somewhere along the way it became uncool to care. But this is nonsense. The only people who say it's not cool to care are the people who are hiding their own fear of failure and insecurities." Over the next few weeks, our team is going to talk about the obstacles we place in the way of our own success; and saying that you don't care - or acting too cool - is a huge obstacle (I think especially for high schoolers). In HS one of the most important things in the world is the acceptance of our peers. And like Stulberg said, "somewhere along the way it became uncool to care." So an aura of nonchalantness arose. Interesting though, acting like you don't care is actually a defense mechanism created by our brains to try and protect us from failure. Unfortunately, however, the reality is that what it stops us from the most is success. When we say we don't care, or use any other excuse, we are allowing ourselves an out in case we don't accomplish what we want most. This is something that has evolved in humans for thousands of years for protection and safety. And that's the exact reason we see so few people truly become great. Because to become great, you have to break through generations of evolution - and that is tough! So how do we do that? In this case... actually care! Let yourself care. Work hard. Put a full good effort into the things you care about. And don't allow the protective excuses dwell in your mind. Instead respond quickly and decisively when doubts and protective negative thoughts appear by telling yourself that you do care and that it actually is okay to not reach a goal, yet. That is not failure, its a step on the path of growth toward your ultimate goal.
