PURPOSE
Purpose is knowing and
understanding your end goals, which ultimately will let you accomplish your
mission. If you go through life without
a purpose you are essentially spinning your
wheels and not gaining any ground.
Having a purpose helps you direct all
your energy and focus on the task at hand to accomplish goals.
Here at Pinnacle our mission is to develop athletes for
life, so it is our duty as employees and coaches to focus all of our energy on
making that a reality for our customers.
As a coach the first thing you should do with your team is “think
backwards”, meaning establish your vision
and mission or purpose. What does the end of season party/banquet
look like? Are you celebrating a good
season? A championship? Or just glad you
made it through ok? Once this is set in
stone then you work backwards until present day, strategically setting a plan
of attack. Having a purpose just doesn’t
happen by itself. Do you think that the
military just took out Osama on a whim?
Absolutely not. They knew their goal and spent month’s planning out
exactly how to accomplish their mission and directed all their energy to
accomplishing that mission until completed.
This can be used in sports, business and family.
Purpose: “How do you measure
up?”
Positive vs Opposite
Reason vs Directionless
Intention vs Coast
Goal oriented vs Wonder
“Want to” vs “Have to”
