Setting the Table for Jersey Rep’
As we work to build our team it’s important players understand it’s not all about them.
The jersey they are wearing represents something bigger; it represents their community, their school, their coaches and their teammates. Those teammates extend beyond just the person to the right and the left, it also includes the person before them and after them. Everyone plays a part in building a program. It’s the ultimate team-effort.
As jerseys are passed from season-to-season, from one player to the next; Jersey Rep’ will help create a sense of pride encouraging the players to represent their jersey better than ever.
"“This exercise has had such an impact in our program. It provides a sense of pride and develops a greater love for their program & teammate.”"
