THE ENEMY OF GREAT
IS GOOD!
“Good is the enemy of Great. And that is one of the key reasons why we have so
little that becomes great. We don’t have great schools, principally because we
have good schools. We don’t have great government, principally because we
have good government. Few people attain great lives, in large part because it is
just so easy to settle for a good life.”
Jim Collins

“THREE POINT PHILOSOPHY”

BE THE BEST PERSON YOU CAN BE:
We must demand from each other that we be the best person we can be with regard to
character, honor and integrity. The player/coach must realize that his/her actions while a
member of the Plymouth North Athletic Programs are a direct reflection on the entire
School.
BE THE BEST STUDENT YOU CAN BE:
Athletic participation is a privilege and school is a priority! We must demand from
ourselves that we do everything in our power to succeed in school. We must strive to do
our best academically and behaviorally – we are leaders in our school.
BE THE BEST PLAYER YOU CAN BE:
We must strive to become the best players/coaches we can possibly be. Be 100% prepared!
Remember this: if you are not working to be your best – someone else out there is, and
when you meet them on the playing field – they will win.

"Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what
we think of it; the tree is the real thing.”
