parent meeting 14 - Cedar Park Football

At Cedar Park Football we believe that success is not an accident but a combination of concrete
factors that allow our young men to have the best opportunities, challenges, support systems, and
techniques to experience the great game of football at its highest levels. We believe that our
“plan” is tried, tested and proven to be true. That plan is based on the understanding that
“winning” is defined by more than the final score in a game, and it can be most rewarding
through developing the whole individual through a progression of tests and challenges. We
believe that our program’s foundation is built upon “trust” and that the pillars from this
foundation are “preparation, commitment, accountability, and expertise.” Our interests will be
centered around the principles of doing what is best for our family, focusing on the task at hand,
and finishing the job that we have invested so much time and energy in. Above all, we respect the
fact that we are privileged to be a part of a community and school at Cedar Park that supports our
efforts and believes in the mission of our program. At Cedar Park Football we strive to be second
to none in terms of providing the best opportunities for our young men to grow as people and be
successful on the field and in the classroom. We will ensure that our players are given time to
develop through sub-varsity competition and are given opportunities in practice and competition
to earn playing time. We hope to provide an open line of communication and guidance for our
parents and players alike. We seek to provide a high level of information about physical and
mental training, nutrition, and the recruitment process. We believe that commitment to our core
values provides us with the best opportunity to not only win football games, but the hearts and
minds of the young men we coach as well. We believe that Timberwolf Football is not just about
participation in our program, but also about believing in the idea that together we can achieve far
greater results than our individual parts could ever produce. We offer this expectation to those
who are willing to meet us at these challenges and in return we will provide the discipline our
players need to be successful. This is our brand of football and this is what the Cedar Park
Football Experience is all about!
