Tigers Epitomize Excellence
We are elite in everything we do.
From the smallest details to the greatest displays, excellence is embedded at every level of LSU Athletics. Our daily tasks, annual accomplishments, and generational transformations all begin and end with this ultimate value.
Excellence sets us apart from our peers. By outworking and outperforming our competition, we surpass them. We build and maintain unparalleled facilities, provide peerless student-athlete care, hire and develop elite talent, and create the most engaging and innovative content in the country.
Excellence is the standard we all uphold and epitomize. It is reflected by both the trophies added annually to our cases and the reflections cast daily upon those trophies – they are won by elite coaches, staff, and student-athletes, and they are cared for by meticulous custodians. Both the champion and the caretaker are united by a relentless pursuit of victory.
The success of our student-athletes, in the classroom and in competition, uplifts our institution and inspires our community. When our teams prevail, so does Louisiana. And when one area of our department thrives, we are able to learn from its strengths and replicate their successes elsewhere.
Finally, excellence is never satisfied. The successes of those around us inspire us to achieve our own. Excellence is not perfection, but it is learning from mistakes, ensuring errors are not repeated, and putting what we’ve learned into practice. As elite performers, we recognize, study, and attract other elite performers. Working together, we recruit, develop, and sustain champions.
When we epitomize excellence, we create a championship culture, increase our resources, and elevate our community.
