Embracing Texas Pride in Sportsmanship: Our Commitment to The Texas Way
At Judson ISD we proudly endorse The Texas Way, a state-wide initiative that champions sportsmanship, integrity, and community strength in Texas sporting events.
The Texas Way, founded by THSCA: , THSADA: , and 2Words Character Development , aims to enhance sportsmanship, reduce ejections, and foster positive relationships among coaches, athletes, officials, and fans.
What is The Texas Way?
The Texas Way is a collaborative campaign aimed to:
- IMPROVE the level of sportsmanship at UIL sporting events.
- DECREASE the number of ejections at UIL sporting events.
- STRENGTHEN communities and the relationships between coaches, athletes, officials, and fans.
The Three Pillars
To coach, play, officiate, or support The Texas Way means you commit to the following three pillars:
- Respect for Others: We pledge to honor all participants (coaches, players, officials, and fans) because of who I am, not because of what they do.
- Control of Self: We commit to give boundaries to our thoughts, words, and actions, and to control our anger in the face of competition and adversity.
- Spirit of Competition: We commit to give everything we have to be the absolute best we can be, and to put our team in the best position to win, but we will not sacrifice our integrity to do it.
By supporting The Texas Way, Judson ISD is dedicated to creating a positive and respectful sports environment, ensuring that the spirit of competition thrives with self-control, integrity, and mutual respect.
We want our coaches, students, athletes, and fans to strive for victory, and be supported by their families and friends in their athletic ventures, while being champions of integrity, guardians of honor, and ambassadors of the game.
Through participation in sports, our students not only develop physical skills, but also build character, learning the values of teamwork, discipline, sportsmanship, and perseverance that will serve them well in all areas of the game of life. The Texas Way initiative is an added tool for our school that fosters and supports all of those qualities.
We ask our fans and community to join us in playing The Texas Way and make a difference in the Texas sports community!
