I was talking to a friend about how he can be intentional in providing character education for his high school basketball team. One suggestion that I had for him was to create a word of the week or even have his team create a word of the week, and use that word to drive them for the week, while also talking about how they can use that word in the classroom and other parts of life.
We decided to start with the word HOPE.
With so much going on in the world, we thought it would be important to have, live with, and lead with HOPE.
What is HOPE?
HOPE is expecting that something good is going to happen to you. When we start a new season, or a new team, or a new week, or a new practice, it would help our performance, mentally and physically, if we had high levels of HOPE.
Having hope can make tough situations - practices, games, and classes more bearable. Having hope can keep us motivated to do what we need to do to go after our goals.
We all should have goals, but having goals isn't enough. You have to have a plan that you believe in. Hope is having a mindset and a strategy-set to achieve your goals. Hope is knowing that all of the hard work that we are putting in will pay off.
Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. That is hope in action. When we work hard, good things happen. Be hopeful that something good is going to happen to you and through you today. Expect to have a good year because of the hard work that you put in. Expect that something good is going to happen to you and through you this season.
With everything else going on in the world, YOU can be a light of positivity and hope, and you can make a real difference on your team, in your school, and in the world.
