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!
