THE HONEY BADGER CREED

To be the best honey badger that you can be you must be

Prepared to work hard and be strong

Take a fearless approach and train ferociously and your career at this great club will be long.

Strive to achieve what you’ve set out and said

Great efforts will reap great rewards

Lift with your heart and not with your head and your successes are sure to be broad.

Dig deep as you can when times are dire. 

All true honey badgers fight to the death

Then you’ll prevail when it goes down to the wire,

so don’t give up till you’ve breathed your last breath

Pay respect to your coach and those senior to you

Listen and learn from them all that you can

Promise them you’ll do the best you can do work in together to create a strong plan

Be polite and accepting of all different moulds

Love thy fellow lifter, no matter who. 

Keep your door open to those young and old. 

All badgers all fight for the same causes as you 

This club is not built on great lifters, it’s great people

That make our foundations so strong

So chip in for your club and give it your all

Compete, coach and volunteer all day long

Smack talk and laugh, crack jokes while you train

There’s no taking yourself too seriously

Sadness and crying’s for when you’re in pain

So suck it up and train happily

Weightlifting may be an individual sport

But in this cub you’re a part of a team

So help one another like you’ve been taught

And live the great Honey Badger dream
