🐾 Terrier Nation Athletes of the Week 12
🗣 This week's Female Athlete of the Week: Briella Olivarez as well as the Male Athlete of the Week Joel Hernandez have displayed their personal Accountability in its purest form. Briella and Joel hold themselves accountable and do not blame teammates, teachers, or circumstances. They take ownership because it is in their DNA. When they miss an assignment or a play, they speak up, own it, and lead by example. Others notice, and they follow that standard.
Accountability is a choice of righting your wrongs and working to eliminate mistakes. In the classroom, it means correcting errors and asking for help before a small problem grows. In competition, it means studying your mistakes and putting in extra work to fix them. In personal decisions, it means apologizing sincerely and changing your behavior. Mistakes happen, but growth begins when you own them. Choose accountability, be the example.
💪🏼 Way to Win the Week Briella and Joel. Your choice of holding yourselves accountable has led to where you are now. This personal characteristic impacts your personal, academic, and athletic lives today ☀️ building your tomorrow.

🐾 Terrier Nation Athletes of the Week 11
🗣 This week's Female Athlete of the Week: Faith Roldan as well as the Male Athlete of the Week Andrew Ruiz: Have been Bringing the Relentless Work Ethic since day one. A relentless work ethic means you keep going when the work is hard, the results are slow, and nobody is watching. It is finishing the assignment when you are tired, taking one more shot after practice ends, and refusing to settle for “good enough.” Talent opens doors, but relentless effort is what carries you through them.
This kind of work ethic shapes more than your grades or your stats. It builds discipline, confidence, and character that lasts long after the season ends. Be the student who prepares early, the athlete who outworks the moment, and the person who follows through on every promise. Growth belongs to those who keep showing up and keep pushing. Bring it relentlessly, every single day.
💪🏼 Way to Win the Week Faith and Andrew. Your relentlessness has led to your climb. This quality impacts your personal, academic, and athletic lives today ☀️ building your tomorrow.
