TCSAA Athlete s Plea I am the athlete who, through hours of hard work, practice, perseverance and preparation, am here, only by the grace of God, to compete. With the help of my coaches, the support of my family and friends, I honour the gifts given to me by God. The gift of a strong and healthy body, sound mind and determined heart, the gift of a compassionate spirit and the gift of friendship. I promise to put forth my best effort within the spirit of the rules. When I fall, I will get up; when I fail, I will try again; when I succeed I will be humble and kind. I will respect my opponent because I know what they have been through. I ask of the coaches, parents, spectators and fans to respect my teammates and me. Please understand that harsh words and deeds are a negative force in this place. I ask you to represent your school, family and community with dignity. I ask you to encourage us with positive, kind words and remember.we are children of God.
