Our Why
It is VCF Athletics’ commitment to elevate our members’ lives by fostering their pursuits towards personal excellence.
We believe that by providing the tools, teaching the habits, exemplifying the behaviors, and cultivating the mindset to endeavor towards optimal health, we will empower our members to manifest their ideal lives.
To assure that we are cumulatively better than yesterday, our lives must be lived deliberately. We must acknowledge that our beliefs and values shape our words; these words become our actions; and our actions, in turn, define our character. We must be deliberate and discerning in how we think, what we say, and how we choose to act so the trajectories of our lives stay within our control, our responsibility.
Therefore, excellence is not achieved via coincidence, but rather through the choices we regularly make.
Our Way
As leaders of this community, we must be the standard. By ensuring our members’ time with us is the highlight of their day, we may continue to be given the opportunity to improve their tomorrow. Over a long enough horizon, this responsibility to find their best selves will not only help us to develop them as individuals but – through them – their friends and families. Ultimately, this approach will enable us to sculpt a more capable world.
“I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor.” – Henry David Thoreau
