The NZ Athlete Oath

All Athletes participating in programs sponsored by the Nik Zoricic (NZ) Foundation will be athletes that exhibit the characteristics that uphold the NZ Oath. They are individuals who exhibit grit, determination, and camaraderie. They are individuals who push the boundaries of athleticism and lead through inspiration.

As an athlete, I promise to give my all in pursuit of my dreams. I understand that excellence is not a one-time achievement, but a habit that requires constant effort. I also pledge to support my fellow athletes in their endeavours, to always act with sportsmanship, and to be a leader in my field by setting a positive example for others to follow.
