Mountie PRIDE

It's an easy reference for university sports teams to attach the word 'Pride' to their programs but often times there is no specific intention or value to the saying.  At Mount Allison, we have chosen the term MOUNTIE PRIDE to completely represent the culture of success we are building with our varsity programs. 

Each letter of the word PRIDE comes with specific meaning, representing the five values that define who we are as student athletes, coaches and teams.  More than that, we have 10 specific commitment statements, two for each value, which clearly explain what we are all about and that leave no doubt as to our intentions and our approach.  If you are part of the Mountie family you know what Mountie PRIDE means and you know how much it defines our every day life.

The Mountie Pride credo comes as a result of much discussion and work by Mounties student athletes and coaching staff. The intent is to define those elements of the Mounties culture that most represent the Mounties brand and that are most essential to the growing success of the university’s sport programs.

With the themes of Passion, Resilience, Inclusiveness, Discipline and Excellence represented by the word PRIDE, we feel we can help our teams focus on the action steps necessary for our success. The 10 commitment statements represented in our credo provide us with the full representation of the culture we believe in and the culture that continues to emerge daily with Mounties Athletics and Recreation.
