Joliet West Football Mission

TOI
Team Over Individual
- Put what is best for the team before yourself.



IOO
Inside Over Outside
-The person you are inside is more important than what people see on the outside.



LOS
Long Term Over Short Term
- Make good decisions based on your goals and character not on what may feel good or bad at the moment.

Before we WIN we need to make sure we know why we are playing...Here is our Mission West Tigers.

~What's Important Now~

Promise Yourself…

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true
To think only of the best
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future
To share the greater achievements of the future
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others
To be too large for worry, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble

If we Promise ourselves these things we will be able to TRUST OURSELVES in the tough times

The Man Who Thinks He Can

If you think you’re beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don’t.
If you’d like to win but think you can’t,
It’s almost a cinch you won’t.
If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost,
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow’s will;
It’s all in the state of mind.

Full many a race is lost
Ere ever a step is run,
And many a coward fails
Ere ever his work’s begun.
Think big, and your deeds will grow;
Think small and you’ll fall behind.
Think that you can, and you will;
It’s all in the state of mind.

If you think you’re outclassed, you are;
You’ve got to think high to rise.
You’ve got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the fellow who thinks he can.
It’s all in the state of mind!
Walter D. Wintle

We need to ask ourselves where our heads are. Are you the guy who thinks we CAN!? I am one of those guys who thinks we CAN...

Joliet West Varsity Football Players:

I am very excited about our 3rd annual overnight football camp we will have this summer. Since Joliet West is a brand new program we have decided to go to a new location for our camp. The Joliet West Varsity football program is building a tradition as we will be going on a 4 day and 3 night adventure at Lorado Taft Camp in Oregon, IL. We will be doing more that just building a football team, we will be uniting our team to prepare for the 2010 football season. Summer is coming fast and so is football, so start getting excited for the 2010 JOLIET WEST TIGER football season. If there are any questions about the camp or summer calendar you may contact me at 815-774-6028.

Thank you for all you do for your son and as always

GO WEST!
