Mount Vernon Football

A Mount Vernon Athlete

     A Mount Vernon athlete can come in any size, shape, or color.  There is no common denominator except a love for athletics and a desire to get the most out of your abilities.  Our athletes are proud of their strengths but understand their weaknesses.  They are concerned with what’s good for the team and understand that individual recognition will come through team excellence.

     A Mount Vernon athlete has enthusiasm, discipline, and has the heart of a warrior.  A Mount Vernon athlete will never lose the honesty or character of a small child.

     Our athletes appreciate the support of their fans but are more aware of the example they are setting for the young children in our community.  A Mount Vernon athlete is happy when they produce points for the team but never forget that the team and not themselves comes first.

     A Mount Vernon athlete never lets up on the field of competition but understands the other teams are not the real opponents; it is the full extent of his potential that he is always playing against.

     A Mount Vernon athlete is made, not born.  The are constantly striving to reach their full potential, knowing that they will bypass other players who cannot withstand the strain of their hunger for excellence.  They realize the challenges and competition of sports will better prepare them for the real world.

     A Mount Vernon athlete knows that the true measure of their performance is not recorded in wins and losses, but in how much of themselves they have given to the game.

     A Mount Vernon athlete never realizes when the odds are stacked against them.  They will only be defeated by a clock that happens to run out of time.

     A Mount Vernon athlete is what a small child wants to become and what older people can remember, with great pride, that they once were.
