One of the greatest coaches in UCLA history, John Wooden, outlined a game plan of core values that could lead to success not only in the game, but in our lives. He stated that success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.An excellent set of core values in valuable in all aspects of your life.
You may ask yourself why a fitness trainer would be talking about core values. These may seem like concepts that are more related to your career or relationships.
Though that is true, your core values are also a key part in making a commitment to your mind and body. With strong core values you are able to make a sincere commitment to anything you do. As we all know, your health and fitness is not only a serious commitment but also key to a long, happy life.
No matter how successful your career and relationships may be, they will not be as fulfilling if you do not have the long, healthy life to enjoy them.Coach Wooden designed the Pyramid of Success to outline for his players the building blocks of success, core values.
At the foundation of his pyramid, he placed Industriousness, Enthusiasm, Friendship, Cooperation and Loyalty.
Next, he explained Self-Control, Alertness, Initiative and Intentness.At the next level, he explains Condition, Skill and Team Spirit.
Even higher were Poise and Confidence and at the highest level is Competitive Greatness.
Consider what these core values mean to you. We encounter situations every day which challenge our core values. By having a firm understanding of what they mean to us, we will usually know how to handle any challenge.
In the next posting, we will outline Coach Wooden’s explanation.
These core values are at the heart of BOOTCAMP 619’s philosophy. Come join us!
