PILLARS OF SUCCESS

FOUR PILLARS

Marshals players are taught that there are four components vital to being the best player you can be, and especially vital if playing in college is your dream. That’s because we believe that it is also important that athletes be the best person they can be also. If you play for the Marshals, you have to focus on development in each of these four areas:

Athleticism

Players hoping to move on to college must also be good athletes. This means becoming bigger, stronger and faster through hard work, and building skills through repetition.


Academics

It’s not enough to just be a good athlete. You have to be a good student as well. If you finish high school with a GPA of 3.6 or higher, your standing as an academic athlete can pay for the majority of your college costs.


Character

Being a good person improves your chances of playing with a good college program. Colleges aren’t interested in having problems on their roster, in their dorms, or on their campus. If you’re a troublemaker, you’ll have trouble playing at the next level.


College coaches want players who are willing to work hard. Working to get yourself in the best physical shape possible, working academically to improve your grades and GPA, and working on your game to improve your skills are all things college coaches like to see.
