TEAM PLAYER

Hello Goose Creek GIANTS! Welcome to the spring semester of 2023! So far, we’ve had a great year centered around student success on and off the field. We are thankful for our amazing teachers, coaches, administrators and students for their dedication to the GCCISD community. Special thanks to VYPE magazine for generously showcasing our student athletes. Giving them the opportunity to be seen on a larger platform increases their GIANT impact in our community, state and beyond! We are all familiar with the benefits of being involved in extra-curricular activities while in school. For those of us who played sports, we believe that skills such as cooperation, self esteem, work-ethic and TEAMWORK were developed through times of victory and challenge as a student athlete. According to Patrick Lencioni, author of The Ideal Team Player, “In order to have a team with optimal success, it’s members must be a combination of humble, hungry and smart!”

Humility is the selfless perspective in acceptance of the goal being greater than any single person on the team. Hunger is having the determination to get things done. Smart, in this context, is the act of carefully thinking through situations and how it can impact the goals of the team. Having a combination of these characteristics is a winning formula, not only in the game of sports, but in the game of life! Throughout this year, we have seen many of our teams be successful in academic success, playoff appearances and community involvement. These successes would not be possible without the support of our educational stakeholders. Thank you for being “The Ideal Team Players” in our district. See you around the district! Dr. Demetrius McCall Goose Creek CISD, Deputy Superintendent of Administrative Services
