The Academy Belief System
It’s simple. So simple it should be illegal…
…take a BIG, DEEP BELLY BREATH — and repeat after me (*bonus points for taking a big breath between each one too)
- My potential is nearly limitless
- It’s an inside job
- Effort > Outcome. Unlearning > Learning
- Be. Do. Have
- I am antifragile
- Be UnreasonableAF
- Acceptance. Trust. Surrender
- With my words, I create my reality
- I’m off the clock. The race is over. When the next thing needs doing, I will know
- I search for Truth & Accuracy
- It’s not about who I am today that matters, what matters is who I want to become & how smart + hard I’m willing to work to become that person
The Truth to all of the above, and a fundamental belief of an Academy Kid is the knowing that “I support me” — always have, and always will
We all have a 100% success rate in overcoming adversity — we’ve always overcome and walked out the other side of the hurricane.
Sometimes it was easier than others. Sometimes it took a lot longer than we’d have liked — but the constant is we’ve always overcome it. It’s always passed
And so, “I support me”. Why? Because you always show up for you. You do the work. You ask for help + support. You receive that help + support. That’s all you
Armed with these 11 beliefs, and this one deep Truth, the youth athletes of today and tomorrow can begin crafting & creating strong, malleable, antifragile identities for themselves
And with this identity, they can achieve anything
