The Break Down

Team H.O.T. believes…

• Any player can be as good as they want to be. Greatness is attainable through hard work and dedication (i.e., heart).

• Your attitude and self-confidence determine your altitude. Self-confidence is one of the most important factors in reaching your goal for greatness.

• Competing with heart and focus can override raw talent. If a player is coachable, hungry for greatness and willing to compete with heart, they can excel. Mastering the fundamentals of the game can triumph over natural talent.

• Your biggest competition is with yourself. Life is a competition, but it’s not a race against anyone else. Set beliefs and goals for yourself, stay focused and you will achieve them.

• The journey to greatness is paved ups and downs. Reaching any goal—as well as athletic goals—comes with its share of defeats and disappointments.

• Good sportsmanship is required in healthy competition. We will respect our opponent and always compete to our utmost ability.

• “The best defense is a good offense.” Our strategy is to play hard, fast and physical with heart and passion every second we are between the lines. Our goal is to play aggressively and defensively, competing until the echo of the whistle.

• “Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve.” Servant leadership skills are necessary; we encourage our players to serve as leaders on and off the court.

• Community service builds character and compassion. Giving back is its own reward and we are happy to support our patrons.
