After the NCAA Division III Eagles set a school record for victories Vibram Five Fingers Bikila a 30-7 record and went 14-0 in the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference to win their second title in a row she wanted to set a new standard for achievement, one that wasn't centered around numbers. It's easy for people to say they live by a particular set of values. It can be much more difficult to fully commit to them, which is why it took Beth Wilmeth Vibram Five Fingers Classic a year to persuade her volleyball team to begin making "honor calls." The coach at Roseville's Northwestern College stresses integrity, and she wanted her players to demonstrate their principles on the court. Her suggestion: When an Eagles blocker touches an opponent's shot that goes out of bounds and game officials Vibram FiveFingers Bikila Brown-Beige-Grey see the touch the Eagles should self-report it, which would cost them the point. That proved to be a tough sell, even at a Christian college. But Wilmeth also preaches persistence. She asked her players to think, talk and pray about it last fall, and a concept that once seemed incompatible with the competitive spirit Vibram FiveFingers Bikila Dark-Blue-White become symbol and sign for the Eagles' program. Last month, Northwestern's commitment to honor calls earned it the 2009-10 NCAA Student-Athlete Sportsmanship Award for female athletes. The players and Wilmeth, too still grimace when they surrender a point.
