Toughness is a skill. Hard work is a skill. Sportsmanship is a skill.
MVB has won the MIAA Sportsmanship Award. Compete while showing sportsmanship.
Toughness and sportsmanship coexist within the ecosystem of the team, too.
- Share the 'scut' work of setup and cleanup, shagging balls.
- Never "bigfoot" younger teammates.
- Teach MVB culture to new players. Always be welcoming.
- Show teammates professionalism...early is on time, prepared, focused
- Always be a great teammate.
- Be fully engaged on the bench.

*Cheap shots
*Talking trash
*Taunting
*Handshake line scuffles
Real Toughness
*Practicing hard every day
*Doing the dirty work
*Playing through aches and pains
*Cheering on your teammates when you’re on the bench
*Playing through fatigue
*Making winning plays
