MOUNT IDA COLLEGE ATHLETICS MISSION STATEMENT

Intercollegiate athletics provide opportunities for student-athletes with exceptional psychomotor ability to represent the college through the governance of the Division III National College Athletic Association. Philosophically, athletics at Mount Ida College are approached with a holistic concern for the growth of the student athlete, physically, intellectually, socially and emotionally. The concern of the coach is to make desirable changes in the mind-body-spirit of the student-athlete and develop a positive and purposeful interaction with the player. A respect for the coaches and athletes alike to train both the mind and the body is important, as the athlete should not be viewed one-dimensionally.

The Intercollegiate Athletic Program at Mount Ida College does serve the best ideals of higher education and does intend to work in concert with the mission of the institution. Academic and financial integrity, moral and leadership development, competitive excellence and an efficient system of athletic management are the cornerstones of the program. The term "student-athlete" is a reality which legitimately postures itself within the educational context of the College. The institution is committed to the fair and equitable treatment of both men and women and minority students. Student-athletes are respected both as competitors and as responsible learners within the academic arena and sport laboratory. The completion of all academic programs is essential for the athlete and the quality of a fully integrated college experience must be facilitated and supported.

The foci of the program are to meet the challenges and responsibilities of both professional preparation and sport competition for the amateur athlete. Athletic excellence is stressed at Mount Ida College, while academic achievement and personal leadership are also promoted. The well being of the sports performer does remain in the forefront of all intercollegiate endeavors. The National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III philosophy is an inclusive component of the athletic mission statement. It is the beacon upon which the mission statement is founded and is a critical philosophy upon which all appropriate decisions are made that relates to the welfare of the student-athlete.
