Statement of Athletic Philosophy

The administration, faculty, and coaching staff at Rochester Christian University (RCU) desire for each athlete to achieve his or her full potential in every area of life. We are committed to providing opportunities for growth through practice, competition, and personal relationships. Developing God's given potential, accepting responsibility, and learning the value of being gracious in defeat and humble in victory, are dimensions of growth as athletes and as people. Members of the athletic program will strive to represent the institution positively, and support the Christian beliefs the university has been founded upon. Athletics can provide a unique entry into the community and provide an opportunity for students to be introduced to the university. We, as administrators, coaches, and students, want to take that opportunity seriously and be responsible stewards of the overall mission.
