Performance: Mission
Princeton Tiger Performance is a values-based, holistic performance model with a mission to prepare student-athletes to Achieve, Serve, and Lead in all areas of their lives; and to provide leadership to the larger University community around health and wellbeing.
With the launch of Princeton Tiger Performance, Princeton Athletics is investing in the environment and education platforms that will optimize student-athletes’ physiological and psychological health and performance. While developing character and leadership, Princeton Tiger Performance will set the highest possible standard for a culture of winning the right way.
Unique to Princeton Tiger Performance is the design of a true high performance model centered around values. Intentionally, the program is based on the principle that values drive behaviors; behaviors in the moment define culture; and team culture drives performance.
