Longtime Mountain Lake Public School teacher/coach provides the inspiring thoughts for acronym
Longtime Mountain Lake Public School former coach for cross country, boys basketball (now a volunteer coach) and track-and-field (still the head coach) and retired Social Studies/elementary physical education teacher Paul Metcalf of Mountain Lake took the word “winner” and created this inspirational, full-of-wisdom acrostic for the making of a successful student/athlete – and in doing so – a high-caliber team:
W – We, instead of me
I – Internal toughness
N – Name on the front is more important than the name on the back
N – Never neglect the little things
E – Effort comes from the heart
R – Respect your teammates, coaches, opponents and the fans
