Updates and Information

Spring field snow removal- 

The new equipment that was purchased has been a game changer this Spring thus far. Two weeks into the season and the weather has kept us inside very minimally compared to previous seasons. This has been a tremendous effort on our facilities team to make it happen and benefit our student-athletes this Spring. Thanks to all involved for their continued work and support on this.

Monthly Message

We have been continuing to work on the Athletic Department with the  goal of connecting every athlete to a transformational coach. It is important as we continue to develop a common language. Below are three main focus this Spring around common language. 

 

Telluride Athletic Department definition of success:

If every student can answer “yes” to the following questions at the end of their season-

1. Did I have fun?
2. Did I feel connected to my team and my teammates?
3. Did I become a better person, not just a better athlete? 

Telluride Athletic Department Goal vs Purpose-

Although goals and purpose are related concepts they mean different things. We want to make sure to clearly separate them and know each on our athletic teams: 

Goal- Plan, prepare and play to win

Purpose- Connect Student-athletes to transformational coaches, in a culture of belonging, for their human growth and character development. 

Transactional vs Transformational Coaching

Transactional- Big focus on wins, statistics, and performance. See athletes as tools for success. Monitor. 

Transformational- Prioritizes athletes personal growth. Coaches serve as mentors, role models, and character builders.
