WHAT WE'RE REALLY BUILDING.
CARRY IT WITH YOU.
THIS DOESN'T STAY ON THE WEBSITE
ADJUST. ADAPT. THRIVE.
TRUST IS BUILD ONE REP AT A TIME.
WE KNOW BALL.
THE STANDARD.
The Coyote Way is the standard we carry into every practice, every game, and every conversation. It shapes how we prepare, compete, communicate, respond, lead, and grow.
ONE PACK.
ONE STANDARD.
EVERY REP.
REP IT.
TEACH IT.
EXPLAIN IT.
DEMONSTRATE IT.
ADJUST IT.
The standard is everything we do, everywhere we go. It's our attitude, our effort, and our habits. It's how we represent ourselves, our teammates, our families, and the Pack.

RESPECT THE GAME
Players deserve to understand what we're asking of them before we hold them accountable for doing it. We teach it. Explain it. Demonstrate it. We give them the why, then give them reps to make it stick. mistakes aren't the end of the conversation - they're where the adjustment begins.
ACKNOWLEDGE
COMMUNICATE
LEARN
ADJUST
ADAPT
We don't ignore mistakes or pretend losses don't matter. We use them. We acknowledge what happened, communicate the truth, figure out what we can do better, and put in the work to change it. that's how we grow.
Softball IQ is a difference maker. Understanding our responsibilities, the situations, and the why behind what we do. Recognizing adjustments. Learning from our teammates. Asking questions. Eventually learning to coach yourself.
Learn from great players. Borrow what works. Study your teammates. Listen to your coaches. But eventually make it yours.
You'll be where your supposed to be.
You'll know your responsibility.
You'll communicate.
You'll own it when your wrong.
You'll have their back.
See what's happening. Be honest about it. Make the change.
Carry the lesson forward. Find another way. Keep competing.
Become better because the challenge existed.
We don't teach players to avoid hard things.
We teach them what to do when hard things arrive.
REP THE
STANDARD
REP YOUR TEAMMATES
REP THE
PACK
EACH TIME YOU WEAR IT...
Carry the standard at tournaments, at school, on the field, online, in the dugout, and when no one is standing nearby.
Wearing Coyote means understanding that people learn what we stand for by watching the people in it.
We're building well rounded, self accountable student athletes who lead others, communicate well, compete with confidence, handle adversity, and carry the right priorities everywhere they go.
​
That's the kind of people who change things.
We're compiling the ideas, standards, lessons, questions, and tools behind The Coyote Way into something our players can actually hold onto.
Every Coyote player will receive their own copy to take home, read, write in, think through and to her throughout her time with the pack.
It isn't meant to sit on a shelf. It's meant to be used - to help players act intentional, reflect honestly, understand the why, work through adversity, reconize growth and learn how to hold themselves accountable.
