Week one activities 9/1 - 9/3, 2015

Welcome back to El Dorado, I look forward to working with you this year and watching you develop. In They Call Me Coach, John Wooden defines the elusive quality of success as: "Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming." This is what I will be looking for all year - "Your Best" - that is not a grade. I will always be here every morning at 7:10 am - 7:45 am to help you or answer any questions you might have. I will also be here at break, the beginning of lunch, and on the tennis courts after school, if we do not have an away match. Let's work together and let's have fun together.
