Have you ever thought about your values? Family Values? Team Values?
Where do we even start? Why do I even need to talk about values?
I understand all of these questions. Let me tell you, they will help. Having a set of values to fall back on supports a foundation for communication. There are different types of values and I’m going to focus on a core 3 for us:
Physical values - regard to physical objects, work and one's environment
Interpersonal (social) values - express in relationships with other people
Psychological values - one aspires to realize in one's own personality & inner being
Questions to ask yourself/your athlete:
What’s most important in your life?
What does success mean to you?
What excites you into action?
What qualities do you admire in others?
When do you feel most proud of yourself?
Along with the questions to examine ideas for values, understanding personality is important. I encourage everyone to take the Meyers-Briggs Test to look at what might be driving or holding a person back. It is an evidence-based test and used all over the world. Here is a quick visual of the different "typies"
Here is a link to take the Meyer-Brings Test for free:
I have no affiliation or compensation for the MBTI. I simple share it as a quality resource for self-exploration.
