John Wooden’s died in 2010. Today, his legacy is still alive with his Pyramid of Success. These short bits of inspiration helped so many basketball players and people alike. If you have missed any of the three previous blog posts, you can find them at my website by clicking here.
This week I am sharing two of the final three traits in this pyramid.
13. Poise – “Be yourself. Don’t be thrown off by events whether good or bad.” Things in this world hit all around you all the time. In working with my clients, we refer to those thing as “bombs”. Sometimes those bombs are big and dangerous, others are no more than smoke and some noise. Being prepared and knowing how to act will keep you focused on what is important in your life. Live your plan!!
14. Confidence – “The strongest steel is well-founded self-belief. It is earned, not given.” Confidence does not equate to cockiness. Belief in yourself is something that comes from knowing yourself. That self-beleif is built knowing what you can and can not do. Do what you do the best you can – be confident. Work on the areas you need to improve so that you can be confident.
Next week – the top of the Pyramid of Success.
