JAYS STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE

It is the ultimate purpose of the Tabor College Athletic Department to offer the best in intercollegiate athletics from a decidedly Christian perspective. We seek to lead our student athletes to a greater understanding of themselves and their place before God through their experiences on the playing fields and courts. The Christian life is modeled and described by the coaches and other members of the athletic department staff in an effort to help students grow in the areas detailed below.

Intellectual - Student athletes are challenged to excel in the classroom and in their understanding of the sport in which they participate. Uncompromising commitment to academic excellence is an integral part of participation in the Tabor athletic program.

Personal - Student athletes are encouraged to develop personal discipline, the ability to give themselves to the team effort, and the composure to handle the pressures associated with a highly competitive environment. The highest level of sportsmanship is not only encouraged but demanded.

Spiritual -Student athletes are given opportunities to learn how to live a Christian life, and also how to put those lessons into practice. Prayer, time for devotions or Bible study, and/or lessons that include application of the truth of God's word are all a part of the Tabor athletic experience.

Physical - Student athletes are challenged to develop their God-given abilities to the highest possible level. The desire to achieve excellence on the field and court is modeled by the athletic department staff, with the recognition that it will require a focused, consistent effort on the part of each student athlete to realize that goal.
