Rush Way Philosophy

‘Where the Trails of Passion and Purpose Meet, Begins the Path to Victory’

The Rush Way is the embodiment of all that is Rush Soccer; the rules and manner in which Rush members hold themselves and how they expect other Rush members to conduct themselves. This is not inherent in all people, but can be learned. The Rush Way encourages passion, leadership, respect and, above all, quality.

Our Mission

To provide opportunities for soccer players of all ages, backgrounds, and skill levels to learn, develop and play the game of soccer in a fun and safe environment. Player development will focus on the individual’s skills, knowledge and understanding of soccer. RUSH WISCONSIN SOUTHEAST will provide and develop a staff of experienced, qualified coaches and seek out facilities to further its mission.

Our Tradition

Players are expected to greet the Staff with a handshake for all staff local, national and international. The Rush staff across the country expect their players to shake their coaches hand each time they meet. Why?...respect, build social skills, break down barriers, learn culturally accepted behavior, the list goes on.

Our Core Values

• Accountability: Be accountable for your actions and hold others accountable for their actions. Who am I ultimately accountable to, and who judges my work?
  
• Advice: Seek out advice and aspire to be the best. In order to learn, we must be open to learning and consider the advice of others. Are you coach-able? 
• Empathy: Empathy is at the core of solid relationships.
• Enjoyment: Enjoy your work, this is a gift. The desires of diligent workers are satisfied.
• Humility: Apologize when you make a mistake. Forgive others and do not look back.
• Leadership: Leaders strive to be trustworthy, honest and sincere. They posses traits such as integrity and honor. They are willing to serve others and sacrifice their own interests. Leaders are constructive and hardworking.
• Passion: Passion always trusts, always hopes and always perseveres. Passion never fails.
• Respect: Respect everyone. Respect the opponent, the rules, your colleagues, your superiors and subordinates. Be thoughtful and considerate.
• Safety: Our environment is safe. That includes the office, our travels, the fields and our bodies. Safety is not only physical safety from harm, but safety from ridicule and attack. We are comforted and encouraged in the club. We portray self-control and kindness to our staff, colleagues and players.
• Tenacity: To be successful, persevere.... persevere but do not be anxious. Fear no one. Be strong and courageous. Work when no one else is looking, even when the circumstances are not right and everyone else quits. Diligence never loses because it never quits. Out work your opponent, and most importantly, work smart. Don't wait for external inspiration. The people who go far do so because they motivate themselves and give their best, regardless of how they feel.
• Unity: Together all things are possible. When your teammates are down, bear each other's burdens; conversely, celebrate your teammate's successes.
