Mission Statement

We must always ask ourselves; what is our Mission?
 
The William Woods University athletics department is committed to the highest standard of ethical conduct, performing successfully in the classroom and developing dominating athletes who contribute to a tradition of excellence.
 
We strive for excellence not only on the field of competition, but also to create a well-rounded individual.
 
Our drive is to educate. To provide a positive environment in which to learn, live, grow, practice and compete.
 
Our goal is to provide a cooperative and competitive environment. To demonstrate excellence in athletics as part of a larger commitment to academic success.
 
We teach life-lessons; build character, moral development and self-discipline; and prepare champions for life.
 
Our student-athletes become leaders, thrive in areas other than athletics, grow from their mistakes, never stop learning, push forward and create a winning culture.
 
We are thankful for the opportunity. We empower each other. We show great resilience. We give back to the community. We hold ourselves to a higher standard and higher character. We are confident, accountable, determined and united.
 
Faith. Trust. Pride. You will leave William Woods with character traits, confidence and strength to make this world a better place. You will provide an overwhelming sense of school pride. You will be a strong proud alumni.
 
As an Owl, you will exude habits of success to enrich the lives of student-athletes, setting each up for a solid foundation to conquer the unknown.
 
What is our Mission?  A lifetime of excellence.
