A Lipscomb University Athlete

Lipscomb University athletes can come in any size, shape, or color. There is no common denominator except a love for sports and a desire to get the most out of their abilities. They are not only proud of their strengths, but understand their weaknesses. They are first of all concerned with the good of their team and know that individual recognition will come through team excellence.

Lipscomb University athletes have the enthusiasm of an evangelist; the discipline of a monk; the heart of a warrior; and never lose the honesty and character of a small child.

They appreciate the support of thousands of fans, but are much more aware of the example they are setting for some small child watching them. They are happy when they experience success, but never forget the people that helped them receive the success. While they never let up, the other team is not their real opponent; it is the full extent of their own potential that they are always playing against.

Lipscomb University athletes are made and not born. They are constantly striving to reach their potential knowing that they will bypass other athletes who cannot withstand the strain of this quest for excellence. They realize that the challenges and competition of today's game will better prepare them for tomorrow's world. They know that the true measure of their performance is not recorded in wins and loses, but in how much they gave to their sport.

Lipscomb University athletes never realize when the odds are stacked against them. They can only be defeated by a clock that happens to run out of time. They are what small children want to become and what older people can remember with great pride that they once were.
