Climbing the Mountain, Reaching the Summit

The path to success mirrors a mountain climb. Many teams start the climb with enthusiasm and confidence, but few reach the summit. Tumwater Girls’ Soccer has consistently dominated the lower and mid-level slopes of our climb—winning our league and advancing to the playoffs. However, the final summit—deep state tournament success—has remained elusive.

To reach that summit, we must approach each stage of the climb with intention, focus, and discipline. Every training session, every match, and every team meeting is part of our journey. Our preparation must be comprehensive and continuous, so that when we face the toughest challenges at the peak, we are ready.

Our Mission

The mission of the Tumwater High School Girls Soccer Program is to develop confident, resilient athletes who excel both on and off the field. Through a culture of discipline, accountability, and teamwork, we aim to prepare our players to compete at the highest level while fostering personal growth, leadership, and a lifelong love of the game. Our focus is not just on winning games but on building a program that empowers each player to reach her fullest potential and contribute to the sustained success and legacy of Tumwater Soccer.

Our Vision

The Tumwater High School Girls Soccer Program aims to not only be the best in the Evergreen Conference but to also achieve sustained success at the playoff and deep state tournament levels. Our vision is to build a legacy of excellence, resilience, and determination, where every player embodies our core values both on and off the field.

Our Values

Discipline- We commit to consistent effort, attention to detail, and personal responsibility in all we do — from practice to academics and beyond. Success comes from the habits we build every day. Each decision we make compounds off one another and we pride ourselves in making each of those decisions with integrity, intention, and conviction.

Accountability- We take ownership of our actions and performance. Each player is responsible for her own growth, while supporting her teammates and holding each other to a high standard. Each player and coach understands they are representing something larger than themselves and positively, maturely, and respectfully represents not only the THS soccer program but the larger THS community.

Teamwork- We prioritize the success of the team over individual achievements. Our strength lies in our unity, trust, and shared commitment to our goals.

Resilience- We rise to challenges, push through adversity, and maintain composure in difficult situations. Our mental toughness ensures we are prepared to perform at our best when it matters most.

Excellence- We pursue excellence in all aspects of our program, striving to grow as athletes, students, and leaders. We set high standards and are committed to continual improvement.

Stages of the Climb

Phase 1: Base Camp – Off-Season and Preseason Preparation

Theme: "Pack Your Gear"
The climb begins long before we set foot on the trail. The off-season is where champions are made. This is where we lay the foundation for the season ahead by focusing on fitness, strength, and technical skills. Players who skip Base Camp will find the climb much harder once the season begins.

Phase 2: Lower Slopes – Regular Season

Theme: "Find Your Footing"
The regular season is where the climb truly begins and we set foot on the trail. This is where we test the foundation built at Base Camp. Every practice and game contributes to our progress. Teams that stay disciplined and consistent on the lower slopes set themselves up for success later in the climb.

Phase 3: Midpoint – Playoffs Begin

Theme: "Push Through the Clouds"
As the climb gets steeper, the challenges become more intense. The playoffs are where many teams falter, losing sight of the summit. We push through the clouds, knowing that the summit is just beyond. Preparation and resilience become the keys to success.

Phase 4: Final Summit – State Tournament

Theme: "Conquer the Peak"
The summit is within reach. This is the culmination of all our hard work and preparation. At this stage, success is no longer about talent alone—it’s about who has the discipline, endurance, and belief to finish the climb. Every step we’ve taken has prepared us for this moment.

Phase 5: The Descent – Reflection and Recovery (Post-Season)

Theme: "Celebrate the Climb”

Reflect on how far we’ve come and set goals for the next climb.

Key Takeaways

Every Phase Matters: The climb is a progression. Skipping any phase makes the climb harder.
Progress Over Perfection: Focus on consistent improvement at each phase rather than instant results.
Accountability: Every player is responsible for their own preparation, but we’re climbing this mountain together.
Trust the Process: The climb will be tough, but the summit is worth it. We’ve prepared for this moment.
