WE BELIEVE IN 5 CORE VALUES THAT DEFINE WHO CICERO JAGUARS FC IS. THESE INCLUDE RESPECT, COMMITMENT, AMBITION, TEAMWORK, AND HUMILITY.

​

RESPECT

RESPECT FOR OTHERS IS A FUNDAMENTAL VALUE IN LIFE AND IMPORTANT ONE IN SOCCER TOO. WE WANT TO TEACH OUR PLAYERS RESPECT FOR THE GAME BY PLAYING CLEAN AND BY THE RULES. HAVE RESPECT FOR THE OPPONENT NO MATTER WHAT THEIR LEVEL IS. MOST IMPORTANTLY, RESPECT FOR YOURSELF BY TAKING CARE OF YOUR BODY, EATING WELL AND GETTING ADEQUATE SLEEP.

​

COMMITMENT

COMMITMENT IS NECESSARY TO CONTINUE TO GROW AS A PLAYER. PLAYERS NEED DISCIPLINE TO ARRIVE TO PRACTICES/GAMES ON TIME AND READY TO GO. THEY ALSO NEED DEDICATION TO GIVE 100% EFFORT TO GET BETTER EVERYDAY. ONCE A PLAYER IS COMMITTED TO GETTING BETTER EVERYDAY THEY CAN ACCOMPLISH MANY THINGS BECAUSE THEY ARE ALWAYS READY TO WORK.  

​

AMBITION

PLAYERS NEED TO HAVE THE WILL TO WIN. THEY NEED THE PASSION TO ALWAYS STRIVE TO BE THE BEST THEY CAN BE. (NOT NECESSARILY BETTER THAN OTHERS JUST BETTER THAN YOU WERE YESTERDAY). AMBITION REQUIRES MANY SETS OF VALUES WHICH INCLUDE DISCIPLINE, MOTIVATION, RESPONSIBILITY AND PATIENTS BUT OVERALL PLAYERS NEED TO HAVE THE IMPULSE TO WANT TO GROW EVERYDAY.   

​

TEAMWORK

WE WANT TO TEACH PLAYERS HOW TO WORK AS A TEAM; HOW TO BE A TEAM AND WORK AS ONE UNIT; HOW TO WIN OR LOSE AS A TEAM. SOCCER IS A COLLECTIVE SPORT AND YOU CAN’T PLAY IT BY YOURSELF. LIKEWISE WE WANT TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT THAT FEELS LIKE A FAMILY. THEREFORE WHEN SOMEONE NEEDS HELP ON OR OFF THE FIELD WE ARE ALL THEIR AS FAMILY TO FIND A SOLUTION.

​

HUMILITY

ALWAYS KEEP YOUR FEET ON THE GROUND EVEN IF YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED A LOT OF SUCCESS. PLAYERS SHOULD NOT FORGET ALL THE EFFORT IT TOOK THEM TO ACCOMPLISH THAT SUCCESS AND THEY SHOULDN'T FORGET THE VALUES THAT WERE NECESSARY TO ACCOMPLISH IT. THE EFFORT, THE COMMITMENT TO GET BETTER, AND THE MOTIVATION SHOULD NEVER DISAPPEAR. REMEMBER: YOU CAN ALWAYS IMPROVE.
