It has been a beautiful internal journey discovering my core values this year. I spend time reflecting on the implementation of my core values and how they are received by the athlete. Recently, we did some reflective journaling to prepare for the upcoming season. We started the exercise asking the athletes, \u201cwhy are you here?\u201d We then made our way towards season goals and steps to achieve the goals.<\/span><\/p>\n

The following practice, I had each athlete read over their journal entry with me. This was a way of affirming the goals and connecting with the athlete to make sure we were both on the same page.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Core Values<\/strong> I used in my Coaching Philosophy presentation for KIN 586 were\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Creativity<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Teamwork & Friendship<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Safety<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Work Ethic<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Physical Literacy<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Fun<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

When my athletes read me their entries, I was pleasantly surprised by their answers to my question.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cWhy are you here?\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

This goal setting and reflection exercise really brought out some honest answers. I was so happy to see that the team is actually learning my core values. The fact that they all mentioned teamwork and friendship, affirms that my core values are being learned and modelled by my athletes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Artistic gymnastics is a tough sport, especially after puberty. I am proud to say that I have a team of athletes who are staying in the sport while maintaining healthy minds and bodies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hopefully, this will lead to a legacy of wonderful young women who are confident and strong.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
