Your Reflected Best Self

When asked why don’t they do the same workouts, he said, “You guys are different runners, he might need to work on the speed aspect of running, while you already have that part down. You might need to work on the form aspect of running, and he has that down. So why would you guys be doing the same workout, when it would only benefit one of you” (Washington). Not only does a coach prepare athletes body but also their minds. A coach prepares the athletes mind by getting them to think about what they are going to be doing before there event comes up. If one were to look at Maurice Green before a race, one would notice that he is very concentrated and thinking about what he needs to do to win. Another example of that would be football or basketball players. Before the game, each athlete has his or her own ritual before game time. That concentration is called "getting in the zone." "What I do know is how to get you in the best shape of your life so that you'll be stronger and more explosive than you've ever been. I can also help you prepare your mind for competition" (Connolly 14).

In presenting a theory about myself as a leader, I will attempt to draw conclusions about my strengths and weakness as a leader based on the things learned in this class. I will speculate on a reflective leadership best-self-portrait through my work experiences that draw on my interpersonal resources for vision. Recognizing my talents and shortcomings will help develop both micro and macro levels of resource development needed to reach my full potential.

My top five strengths were identified as Learner, Achiever, Discipline, Strategic, and Responsibility according to the StrengthsFinder 2.0 Assessment test (Gallup, 2016). All five strengths can be an asset in my professional role as a research assistant. As a research assistant, I constantly need to learn about new clinical trial protocols used in the hospital. If I do not research or read information on the new protocols, then I will not be educated on what the problem is, and the patient’s safety will be at risk. An example of this happens on a regular basis where I work. For example, new protocols are created everyday. Also, old protocols are updated constantly. One day we received more blood than was once required for a specific protocol, so I had to investigate if this was a new addition to the protocol and if not, I would have had to report the protocol violation since more

This week’s assignment started by directing us to complete a self-assessment, which I felt was a well laid out chart with established skills and a level in which to rate yourself from 1 being poor up to 5 being good. I think it was a good exercise, giving us a better insight to our strengths and weaknesses. I do in fact think that I learned something new about myself and could more easily answer the question of “tell me your strengths and weaknesses”, which is often asked at interviews or promotion boards.

* What do other people see as your strengths? Weaknesses: * What could you improve?

In the next few paragraphs, I will be discussing the results of the surveys that I have taken. The results show my qualities and my strengths that will potentially be an asset in the field of social work. First, I have taken

Not only do they have to do all the work that their coaches give them but they also have to maintain a high enough grade point average (GPA) to even compete. So say a runner is training hard all through the fall semester and has below a 2.5 you can’t compete all of next spring, indoor or outdoor track. It’s hard for ant athlete to have the GPA that they want because of the time that they are spending with their sports instead of school. It’s easy for a none student-athlete to say that it’s easy for them to get straight A’s or B’s but look at what they can do. They wake up at like eight or nine have a nice little breakfast go to classes, then before lunch they can take a nap or do homework, then go to lunch and maybe go to another class after. After that they go to dinner and maybe after hang out with friends or do other homework and study, but by that time it’s like eight or nine o’clock and can just chill and go to bed

To begin, coaches with any of the sports I listed above look for speed, explosive power, stamina, strength, and determination. This specially applies to Track and Field. Concerning this, there’s one main problem. Athletes only focus on one part of this sport; that focal point is the Track

however with support and hard work from my team members we won the first ever medal for the team. I find it difficult to work under tight deadlines and so I have a habit to plan out things, prioritize them and then solve them one by one. I have always been the greatest critic of myself. I introspect a lot, analyse my mistakes and try to work over them. I am a quick observer of things and people’s behaviour. This really helps me to understand the other person’s state of mind and I steer the conversation accordingly. As a result I am not really comfortable with strangers who are difficult to predict and this is one area where I would like to work on in the future. I also don’t like to look at things from a distance and give any arbitrary solution. I try to understand the core of the problem and try to look beyond the obvious.

Athletes deserve the reward they work for. One reason why being an athlete is challenging is because they spend many hours a day, for months and years, training for their sport. These athletes spend hours and hours on workouts which are tough. The training also requires diets which test you mentally and limits you from what you want to eat. Another reason why athletes have

I like to think I have many strengths. After review of my character/ personality test, I can see what they are. I am a task-oriented leader, which drives me to finish a project. I have a strong individual work ethic, which allows me to be responsible and not rely on others. I am good at building and leading
