FFAI Athletic Key Fundamentals & Values
Fundamental #1
Sports: The tool for communication
Sports are an excellent means of communication. Similar to music, sports has a universal language, in that, terminology may vary, but the foundation of the language is rooted in the rules, regulations, and style of play. FFAI has chosen to use Athletics as its means of communication for the following reasons:
-
Athletics transcends gender, age, race, and religion
-
Athletics is a credible and relevant tool of communication with all people
-
Athletics is an excellent way to build and establish relationships
-
Athletics is competitive and entertaining
Fundamental #2
Leadership: The substance behind FFAI activities
Fellowship For Athletes Inc. firmly believes that everything rises and falls on good, sound Christian biblical principles such, as defined by Jesus Christ and the word of God.
FFAI Values System
We have 3 key values that we want to instill in the hearts and minds of our coaches and players. These are values that we believe will produce great people and a great team. These 3 values are:
-
Team
-
Do your Best
-
Opportunity/Honor
Team
We want to teach and emphasize team in everything we do within FFAI Athletics. The old adage really is true, together everyone achieves more. We want to create within our programs a sense of family, loyalty, community and respect for each other as players and coaches. If we all do our job and do it to the best of our ability then the job will get done, and be done with excellence that bring glory to God. If half of us do things one way and half of us another, then it’s unlikely we will achieve much "...A house divided against itself shall not stand." Matthew 12:25
Do Your Best
We want to see coaches and players:
-
give their best
-
Have Passion and commitment for what you do
-
Aim for excellence
It’s easy to teach the fundamentals of athletics, but it is harder to teach passion for the game and for life in general. The major factor that separates the good from the great in every walk of life is who are those who are giving their whole hearts and efforts into what they are doing? We want to as coaches and players to inspire passion and maximum effort in each other in everything we do. Our focus is not winning, but putting maximum effort into everything.
Opportunity/Honor
We want to create an athletic outreach, which gives young men and women a sense of honor to be a part of. And we want to create an environment of opportunity. It is true that people succeed or fail based upon weather they have a vision to go somewhere or not. We want coaches and players to believe they have an opportunity as part of this outreach to grow and succeed and help them get a vision for how to do that.
