What makes a team? The answer is found in two words-heart and

discipline. To function as a team, the members must have a pas­

sion for the game rooted in their hearts. To have a winning team

the players must have discipline, putting themselves under subjec­

tion to their coaches. Fans can see the excitement, anxiety, and

anticipation in the eyes of the team, but they don’t see the deter­

mination and hard work that got them on the field.

Their thoughts and feelings about their own home terrain

cannot be compromised. They believe that their opponents are

merely visitors in their “home.’’ Like any host, they are kind and

welcoming, but they will fight for their fans and for their territory.

Passion and discipline is the heartbeat of the Cougars. Team work,

aggressive play, hard work, and most importantly Christian testi­

mony are the foundations of a disciplined team. Colossians 3:23

states: “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and

not unto men;’’ The teams can possess all the skills, but they must

excel in conduct-this will make them a winner every time.
