Every successful program has a core set of values, principles that guide them in all that they do. At UCF, everything we do on and off the floor centers around our core values. Though we have a different title for our "Definite Dozen" they embody what we want in our program.
At the beginning of each season, we would sit in a circle in the team room and go through the Definite Dozen one by one. Pat would ask for input from players, coaches and staff. Here are some of the thoughts discussed:
RESPECT YOURSELF & OTHERS
- Look at the relationship that recruits have with their family.
- Body language.
- Are you happy with yourself?
- Being on time. Lots of responsibilities, our time isn't more important than others.
- Actions show more respect than words.
- Don't get hung up on titles, treat everyone how you would like to be treated.
- Can't demand respect.
- Make eye contact.
- Be your own person, decide who you are going to be.
- Ambition can transform you. The starting point of ambition is self-respect.
