2007 Fall Sports Review:
The fall season ended in November and Loretto teams did very well in 2007 with all five teams advancing to sections, three league championships, one section title and an individual qualification to the State meet in Cross Country.

Athletics is an integral part of the educational process. Students are expected to develop playing skills, respect for teammates and opponents, respect for rules and officials, health and physical fitness, and good sportsmanship.

To be an athlete means more than merely meeting members of other teams in contests. The athlete learns to appreciate all individuals for their particular talents. She learns the meaning of teamwork and its importance in life as well as in sports. She learns that training rules are important and that to break them is to let herself as well as the team down. She knows that whatever she does either boosts or lowers team morale. It takes more than physical ability to be a good athlete. A good athlete must be willing to accept the basic philosophies that are so important in becoming an admired athlete and, even more important in becoming a respected person with a high sense of moral integrity, a competitive spirit, and the ability to be honest and forthright in all endeavors.

Attitude is one of the principal requisites in becoming a champion in any sport and, of course, attitude is best defined to the athlete as how you act, how you feel and how you think in showing your disposition. The desire to excel, to win, "to pay the price," are positive points or attributes of attitude. An athlete displays proper attitude by acting like an athlete and a lady, showing respect for others at all times, always displaying good conduct, avoiding un-sportsmanlike actions, cooperating at all times with officials, shaking hands with opponents before and after the contest, showing self-control at all times, accepting decisions and abiding by them, accepting both victory and defeat with pride and compassion, and never being boastful or bitter.

Loretto wants always to be proud of our athletes for the Christian women that they are, not for whether they win or lose!   [top]
