Excellence Matters
To quote Major League player and manager Buck Rodgers : “ There are countless ways of attaining greatness , but any road to reaching one ’ s maximum potential must be built on a bedrock of respect for the individual , a commitment to excellence , and a rejection of mediocrity .”
We totally agree ! Providing an environment that is committed to excellence - from game play to the technology that we use . It has a dramatic , positive impact on how young men respond to the game .
