- Each member of our program goes through a Self Evaluation process each Post-Season, Off-Season and Pre-Season. These evaluations cover Mental, Physical and Social Skill development.
- These Self Evaluations are used for formal Goal Setting sessions each Post-Season, Off-Season and Pre-Season. The Goal Setting sessions cover Mental, Physical and Social Skill development.
- We utilize the SMART method for setting goals. They must be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely.
- Each member of the program is asked to determine where they are at on Maslow's Hierarchy. This allows each individual to enhance their awareness of the obstacles that stand in the way of them fully focusing their motivation upon achieving their goals.
So, why are we concerned with the Mental, Physical and Social Development of the members of our organization?
Simply put, we feel that these elements are vital for our Team's success and the success of our members throughout the course of their lives. As a program, we want our players to gain mental, physical and social skills that will help to raise their quality of living for a lifetime.NINE MENTAL SKILLS FOR ATHLETIC SUCCESS
