Core Values

Head Coach Jeremiah Wohlgemuth shared the most recent compilation of Core Values and Belief Statement for the MVC Boys’ Soccer program. The collection is offered below and will be an integral part of this season. What does it mean to be a Hurricane soccer player? “You will know them by their fruit.” ~Matthew 7:20~   What does it look like on the field? In the classroom? In the community? People should see us, observe us, and be able to describe us.   TheCore Valuesare built around the concept of a Category 5 Hurricane, the most powerful ones recorded, and more specifically, our theme verses: “Be on guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong; do everything in love.” ~1 Corinthians 16:13-14~ CHARACTER: We do what’s right, even when no one is watching. On the field, in class, and in life, we act with integrity. COMMITMENT: We show up, give our best, and finish what we start. Every repetition, every drill, every game matters. CONFIDENCE: We believe in ourselves and each other. We step into challenges with courage, not fear. COMMUNITY:  We put the team above ourselves. We serve, support, and lift up those around us. CONSISTENCY: We bring the same attitude, effort, and focus every day. Champions are not built in moments, but in habits.    We are Category 5. Strong. Relentless. Hurricane Soccer! The covenantBelief Statementbeing used by the program states: We are a Category 5 team. We choose character that honors Christ, commitment that never quits, confidence rooted in Him, consistency in our effort and discipline, and community that builds each other up. We stand firm in our faith, play with strength and courage, and do everything in love.  The Category 5 Hurricane graphic was created for this website and the MVC Boys’ Soccer program by Leanne Jungquist, MVC Communications Coordinator.

The Core Values listed below were used from 2011 through the 2018 season. They are still included because a large number of program alumni continue to utilize them in their daily lives. They were adapted from the University of North Carolina’s highly successful women’s soccer program and then Head Coach Anson Dorrance. TOUGH.   We do not whine. We handle any situation thrown at us. DISCIPLINED. Each day we have a plan to do something better, and do it. FOCUSED.  We compete as student athletes for the right reasons. We care about our education. We make good choices to represent ourselves, our family, our team, our Lord. RELENTLESS.  We work hard and we never stop pushing ourselves and those around us, in practices and in matches. RESILIENT.   We bounce back from setbacks and do not seek out or create crisis where they do not exist. POSITIVE. We choose to not be upset by negative circumstances. CLASSY.  We treat everyone with respect, and do not separate ourselves from others or make people feel lower than us. CARING.  We do not judge others, say negative things about our teammates and embrace everyone on our team because they were made by the same Creator who made us. NOBLE.   We ALWAYS place the good of the team ahead of ourselves. SELFLESS.  We ALWAYS play for each other. We work ourselves to death for our teammates in the most demanding games and situations. GALVANIZING.  We are well led. Our leaders are less concerned about being liked and popular, and more concerned about holding their teammates accountable and driving their teammates to their maximum potential. We always compete and always expect others to as well. GRATEFUL.  We are humble and grateful for the life we have been given. We are gracious and enthusiastic about being alive. INTENSITY.   We are crazed in our commitment to competing and doing things better than they have been done before, and ensuring that those around us are as well.
