Gr. 8 Boys’ Teams Travel to Vernon … All 3 Teams … 

***Players were asked last week to make arrangements for rides. It is imperative that all players are at the games. SMS has made a commitment to our Zone League and we are obligated to fulfill our commitment. Players have made a commitment to our SMS Boys’ Basketball Teams and therefore are obligated to be at all games. Athletes, you should have already made arrangements to carpool and organize rides to and from the games tomorrow. If you haven’t made arrangements for a ride, please do so asap. Thank you. 

***We should leave right after school. If we leave by 2:30, we should arrive at the schools in time for warm-up. Again, all games are in Vernon…

All other Grade 8 League Games will take place on Mondays. League play will run every Monday until February 5th. Play-Offs begin Monday February 12th and will last until last week of February.

Reminder… 5 Ways to Develop Mental Toughness and Resiliency …

1. Get up Early… when the alarm goes off, don’t hit the snooze … get out of bed…

2. Make Your Bed as a Habit… as soon as you get up make your bed - perfectly! 

3. Do Work… Attend AM Open Gym or if not, do push-ups, sit-ups, etc…

4. When the School Day is Over… Study First … If you have early Bball Practice, then study after practice… If you have late Bball Practice, then stay at school, attend Study Hall and Do Your Work… Read, Re-Read, Write, Re-Write, Review - That’s what homework is… 

5. Eat Something You Don’t Like Regularly… as a Habit… Mr. Smith doesn’t let tomatoes be tougher than him… He still doesn’t like tomatoes, but he eats them anyway… 

Why do all the things above … because they are usually the last things you want to do… Do the things that you don’t want to do, but are good for you, and make them a part of your Daily Habits… That’s how one Develops Mental Toughness.
