LHS Philosophy of Football in Education:

It is our contention that football should be an integral part of the school curriculum, an extension of the school day to pass on life long skills through the medium of this great game. They are not an end into themselves. They must be inherently educational and conform to the goals, values, and stated purpose of the school.

Our coaching staff must be concerned with stimulating each athlete so that he will want to secure the finest education possible. We must demand a commitment to excellence and to winning, not only in football, but also to every endeavor in life they consider worthwhile and meaningful. They must learn that dedication, sacrifice and hard work are necessary ingredients in performing any task that will lead to the attainment of a valued goal or life objective. The athlete in our program is in a favorable and unique position. He is a part of a team and must learn to work and function effectively and cohesively with a wide variety of personalities. Lasting and treasured friendships will be nurtured and developed. He will also represent our school in a very visible role and we will encourage him to conduct himself with character, poise, integrity, honesty, and pride.

In our relationship with student athletes we will always be aware of the tremendous influence our position projects, for good or bad. Parents entrust their dearest possession to our charge. We teach by example. It is our goal and desire that the young men who have participated under our leadership are finer and more decent persons for having done so. We will never place the value of a win above that of instilling the highest desirable ideals and character traits on our student athletes.

Our staff philosophy of coaching is built around the following objectives:

1. Contribute to the development and well-rounded maturity in the student athlete.

2. Train the student/athlete for leadership.

3. Encourage the student athlete to achieve academic success.

4. Make the student athlete concerned and aware of the importance of his self-disciplined and commitment in all areas of his life.

5. Develop, refine, and teach ethical values.

6. Teach the practice of excellence in competition.

7. Encourage the student athlete to be concerned about his attitude in the overall education process.
