How important is winning to BCHS?
As Director of Athletics I will not care if we ever win a contest, as long as I am convinced that our student-athletes were prepared & confident of doing their best. I believe that the competitive outcome we experience is purely a by-product of our preparation & attention to detail. Athletics is (or should be) about teaching & confidence building. Most often the edge that separates one competitor from another is not pure ability, but rather the intelligent preparation & positioning that one accomplishes over their opponent. If a student-athlete works hard in the classroom & on the field/court, is coachable & teachable, truly understands the concept of team, brings out the best in the people around them, & represents BCHS with class & dignity; then they are successful. Winning contests is earned only after doing the correct things consistently. No coach at BCHS in the past several years has been released because they did not win contests.
