The Mission of FVHS Athletics:
The mission of FVHS Athletics is to provide student-athletes the
opportunity to compete successfully in a high school program
which is an integral part of their educational experience.Through
well-designed athletic programs promoting community and
school pride, FVHS Athletics will provide equitable participation
opportunities for student-athletes to develop their leadership
potential, grounded in the principles of ethics, integrity, hard
work and moral character.
Each program will accomplish this mission by developing within
each student-athlete a sense of personal satisfaction earned
through their contribution towards their team’s success. The
FVHS athlete will feel valued, supported, and encouraged
through their participation in Baron Athletics, and in so doing
will build a life-long love of sport and the maintenance of a
healthy life style beyond their years at FVHS.

A Baron 4 Life:
Avoids"imposter syndrome." Inevitably, there will come a time in your high school
career when you feel as if you're walking around with a sign on your back that
says, "Dumb Jock." You may feel you don't belong in the same class as the
"regular" students, either because of your lack of self-confidence or poor
treatment by those who (for whatever reason) don't like athletics. Step out of your
comfort zone: Make an effort to cultivate friends outside your small circle of
teammates and coaches.
Isn't a punch line. We all know him, we've all seen him, and we all know how much
of pain he is . . . that guy. And trust us, every team has one. You don't want to be
the player who causes your teammates daily grief. Be on time (in the athletic
world, being on time means being early). Be prepared, whether it's practice, class,
or study hall. If you are perceived as responsible and reliable from the start, when
you are late or you do make a mistake (and you will), you will have created a
margin for error.
Prepares his mind for academic work: Read. Athletes know the value of physical
preparation for competition. The harder you work on the track, in the weight
room, and on the field, the more competitive your game. The same principle
applies to your academic work. Come ready to compete. Read, read, and then
read some more. Reading is a discipline, like running.

Sexual Harassment- what is it?
1) Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual
favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual
nature.
2) this is illegal in the workplace and at school; it can
result in suspension, arrest or removal from a team.
Your normal life is over.
3) if you need help, go to your coach, our ADs or Mr.
Lamar

Bottom Line- treat everyone with respect; recognize that group behavior
is sometimes different than individual behavior.
Be cautious with Social Media- what you say on Facebook and Twitter
can be used against you– it is dated, printable documentation of your
behavior.
You represent yourselves, your families, your team and your school; Like
it or not, you are our future leaders on campus, role models for every
athlete and non-athlete in your class; there must be integrity in
everything you do, on and off campus.
Remember:
“The logo never comes off”
24 – 7 – 365
You are the face of the franchise
