Dear Jaguar Families,

Welcome to a new year of Mercy Athletics! Whether this is your student-athlete’s first season or her final lap as a senior, we are grateful to walk alongside you as she grows through sport. At Mercy, athletics is far more than competition. It’s a place where our student-athletes learn to lead with integrity, persevere through adversity, and contribute to something greater than themselves. We believe that when we develop the whole athlete - her character, her mindset, her habits - the results follow. Wins on the scoreboard matter, and we pursue them. But when we do things the right way, our athletes leave Mercy having already won in more ways than one.

Our athletic program culture is rooted in core values we can easily remember with “J.A.G.S.”:

• Judgment – making wise choices on and off the field
• Accountability – taking ownership of words, actions, and effort
• Grit – showing up, pushing through, and finishing strong
• Spirit – bringing energy, joy, and pride to our school and teammates (#MPBTB)

These values shape the way we coach, compete, and connect as a community. They are our playbook for forming women of Mercy who are equipped to lead and serve - on their playing surface, in the classroom, and far beyond.

Thank you for trusting us with your student-athletes. Thank you for cheering them on in the wins and the losses. Thank you for sharing in the promise to do things the right way. But most of all, thank you for believing, as we do, that success is about far more than a scoreboard.
We’re proud to have you in the Mercy Athletics family.

With gratitude and grit, 

                     
Lorraine Carner
Director of Athletics
