Becoming a Triple-Impact Competitor™
A Leadership Workshop for High School Athletes
(75 minutes)
A Triple-Impact Competitor strives to improve him or her self, teammates, and the sport as a whole.
Workshop Capacity: no more than 50 student-athlete leaders (or up-and-coming leaders) per session.
Improving Oneself
A Triple-Impact competitor is someone who makes him or herself better, relying not just on the scoreboard to evaluate performance, but instead focusing on mastery and continuous improvement. The Positive Coaching Alliance principle of the ELM Tree of Mastery is central to this. In the ELM Tree of Mastery the focus is on:
• Effort
• Learning
• Mistakes are OK
Improving Teammates
A Triple-Impact Competitor helps teammates improve, focusing on his or her own role while also seizing opportunities to encourage and support teammates, using the Positive Coaching Alliance principle of filling "Emotional Tanks."
Improving the Sport
A Triple-Impact Competitor understands and embodies the Positive Coaching Alliance principle of Honoring the Game. A principled competitor shows respect for the Rules, Opponents, Officials, Teammates, and Self (ROOTS). A Triple-Impact Competitor competes fiercely to win, but only within an ethical context of Honoring the Game, earning the pride of his or her family, the team, and the broader school community.
