Expectations for General Conduct Off Field
• List of players to be emailed to NPHS Staff• All school rules always followed. • HALLS - Think before you act and look at who is around you. Guilty
and guilty by association are the same thing.• IN CLASS – Respectful, Alert, Participatory
– Eligibility and Grades• SCHOOL – Present AND On Time Everyday – All school rules always
followed. • OUT of SCHOOL – Nothing different than everything above. There is
no separation. • At NPHS Baseball – we take these matters as seriously or more,
than what we ever do on the field.

General Conduct off the Field
• Twitter, Facebook, etc.Twitter – Top Athlete Mistakes
GETTING ON TWITTER BEFORE GETTING EDUCATEDFORGETTING THEIR AUDIENCEUSE PROFANITY OR DISCUSS R RATED SUBJECTSGETTING BAITED VENTING FRUSTRATION OR ANGERNOT BEING DISCREET WHEN IT COMES TO OTHER PEOPLEBELIEVING THAT DIRECT MESSAGES WILL REMAIN PRIVATE
All of this stuff is nothing but a distraction from your purpose.

facebook, twitter, instagram, etc.

The Make-Up of a “Team”
• Playing as a team from March – June is really not enough.
• Therefore: – Fall Program– Offseason Strength and Conditioning Program– Non-Baseball Team Events– Close Relationship with American Legion
programs– Consistent Communication

The Multi-Sport Athlete
• Do we like it? Yes.• Is it for everyone? No.• Questions to Consider?– Do I make adjustments easily from sport to sport?– Am I able to make significant progress from year
to year in each sport?– Can my body handle the demand?– Am I able to keep my grades in check?
