Team Echelon is dedicated to helping all athletes, regardless of experience, enjoy the thrill and challenge of competitive sports in a positive and supportive atmosphere. Team Echelon also seeks to be a positive model for athletes and non-athletes alike. To this end, all Team Echelon athletes are expected to follow the Team Echelon Code of Conduct:
- Demonstrate the utmost respect for those around you--athletes and non-athletes alike.
- Obey all race rules. Compete fairly, or don’t compete at all.
- Respect officials. If an official makes a bad call, plead your case professionally and with restraint. Accept an official’s “final position” and move on. Recognize that a bad call is just another hurdle you need to overcome as an athlete.
- Fellow competitors are just that. During a race, push yourself to the utmost of your potential, but never compromise the efforts of other racers. Before and after a race, be cordial and polite--even friendly. Respect the efforts and sacrifices these people made in order to compete against you.
- In training, obey the rules of the road. Help fellow athletes where possible. Towards non-athletes, be a model for your sport.
- Whenever you are in a Team Echelon uniform, you are representing both the team and all of its sponsors. In other words, you are a professional. Act like it.
- Honor your commitments to your team, your teammates, your training partners, your family, and your friends.
- Always demonstrate mutual respect, honesty, integrity, and friendship towards your fellow Team Echelon members. Even in head-to-head competition, remember that you are first and foremost teammates.
- Play hard. Play fair. Have fun!
