ACCOUNTABILITY BUDDY
Partner for Mental Strength
Objective: to improve mental toughness with an Accountability Buddy
Who is your biggest opponent? Yourself
And, is there anything you are doing that is holding yourself back? Yes, we all are.
The person we are most likely to lie to is ourselves. By lying to ourselves, we become trapped in the jail of our own mind. As social creatures, we benefit from one another. An Accountability Buddy is a virtuous friend who has your best intentions at heart. You want to be very open and honest with your Accountability Buddy about areas you struggle with, and resolutions and commitments you are making to improve. It is important to check in with your Accountability Buddy at least once a week. Look at the success Alcoholics Anonymous has had with the Sponsor concept. This is very similar to the Accountability Buddy.
First and foremost, we must take a moment to be honest with ourselves about areas we struggle with. The last worksheet Mental Toughness Week 2 was an excellent starting point. We will build upon that information this week with greater specificity.
Exercise 1: Who is your Accountability Buddy:
Exercise 2: Regular time you will check in with your Accountability Buddy:
If we want to succeed in wrestling, school, and life we must do a thorough conscience examination on ways we hold ourselves back and good resolutions to improve these areas. As humans, we are composite beings, made up of Spirit, Mind, and Body. If you are messing up in one area, it will likely carry over to another area. We need to get our house in order. We need to clean up our mess (within).
