SMS Athletics … May 20th to May 23rd

 ***Turnout for AM Open Gym has low since our return from Spring Break. Volleyball numbers were extremely low. Most of the participants were from Jackson and in grade 9. Basketball numbers have been at 9 players per open gym; as a result, the numbers are lower than they have been since our early years of middle school. I enjoy opening the gym for our students; however, I have lots that I need or would like be doing before school starts in the mornings, and when our numbers are low it’s becoming tough to make a commitment. I appreciate the players/students who consistently show up during the open gym opportunities. They work hard, have fun, and I know they get frustrated when the gym is not open and/or sessions are cancelled. That being said… I will open the gym this week for basketball players in grades 6, 7, and 8, on Tuesday and Thursday; however, if participation numbers do not improve this week, then this will be the last week I will be able to open the gym during the AM at SMS. … ~ Mr. Smith

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! Start the day with a Win!

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 that are good for you, and make them a part of your Daily Habits… That’s how one Develops Mental Toughness… Doing hard things on a regular basis!
