Raising Champions: The 813 Way
Our Core Values
Trust the Process
Improvement doesn’t happen overnight.
The work our athletes do today—learning proper form, building consistency, gaining mental toughness—will pay off in ways that don’t always show up on a stopwatch right away.
We believe in patience, persistance and celebrating growth over quick wins.

Every Step Counts
It’s not just about who wins the heat or gets the medal. It’s about showing up for practice, trying a new event, supporting a teammate, or giving full effort regardless of placement.
Every rep builds strength. Every meet builds experience.
Every role on this team matters—and your athlete’s journey is uniquely theirs to own and be proud of.


Be A Safe Space
Our coaches are here to guide your athlete on technique, performance, and pushing through tough moments.
But we also want to be sure that we, and our families play a role in being their encourager, their calm, and their reminder that they’re more than a result.
After a long practice or a tough race, sometimes what makes the biggest difference is simply knowing that someone is proud of them—no matter what happened on the track.

What Happens Off the Track Matters
Success in this sport requires more than training—it requires rest, good nutrition, hydration, and healthy routines at home.
We believe that athletes that get the sleep they need, fuel their bodies properly, and manage their schedules effectively allow them to better recover and perform.
These habits support not only athletic development but also lifelong wellness.

It's Bigger Than Track and Field
The lessons our athletes are learning go far beyond sprints and throws. They’re building confidence, discipline, accountability, and resilience—skills that will serve them in school, relationships, and life.
Track and field is just the environment; the transformation is much deeper.
We’re here to help them grow into strong, thoughtful, capable human beings, and every meet, practice, and team moment is part of that process.

Progress Over Perfection
No athlete has the same timeline for their journey. Some may shine early, while others take time to develop.
There will be good days—and there will be tough ones. Setbacks, missed goals, and off days are all part of the process. What matters most is that your athlete keeps showing up, learning, and growing.
That’s where true progress happens.

Focus on the Journey
We believe in asking our athletes: “What did you learn today?” or “What felt good out there?” These kinds of questions invite reflection and pride in their progress.
Focusing only on times and rankings, means that we miss the bigger picture—this sport is shaping who they’re becoming, not just how fast they can run or how far they can throw.
