Core Values and Beliefs 

• We respect ourselves, for how can we expect anyone else to respect us if we do not respect our selves.
• We respect the individual, and believe that individuals who are treated with respect and given responsibility respond by giving their best.
• We require complete honesty and integrity in everything we do.
• We make commitments with care, and then live up to them.  In all things, we do what we say we are going to do.
• Hard work is an important part of life, and it should be fun.  Being a good volleyball player does not mean being stuffy and boring.
• We love to compete, and we believe that competition brings out the best in us.
• Winning is important, but is not the only measure of whether we are successful.
• We understand that winning and losing does not define who we are as a person; rather, who we are is defined by what we value and how hard we work to achieve it.
• We are frugal.  We guard and conserve our energy resources.  Spending them on things that are important to us and on things that help us achieve the goals that we have set for ourselves as a team and as individuals.  We guard these energy resources like we would our own treasures.
• We insist on giving our best effort in everything we undertake.  Furthermore, we see a huge difference between “good mistakes” (best effort, bad result) and “bad mistakes” (sloppiness or lack of effort).
• Clarity in understanding our mission, our goals, and what we expect from each other and ourselves is critical to our success.
• We are believers in the Golden Rule (treat others the way we would like to be treated).  In all our dealings, we will strive to be friendly and courteous, as well as fair and compassionate.
• We feel a sense of urgency on any matters related to our team.  We own problems and mistakes, and we are always responsive.  We are team driven.
