Build a Foundation
My UNC soccer team had 13 values that each player memorizes.
They don’t whine. They work hard. They don’t freak out. They want to be part of something bigger than themselves. These are some of their values.
Their 13 core values all together were the keystone for greatness at UNC. Certainly, it required many different “stones” to construct the foundation which led to the UNC Soccer Team dynasty, but these values, internalized, had a profound impact on everything else.
Wouldn’t logic follow that establishing your own set of values, memorizing them, internalizing them and using them throughout your life would have a similar, dramatic impact on you?
Ask Anson bot about Values.
How did the UNC women’s soccer team develop its core values, and what role did they play in building a championship culture?
What is the process for memorizing and internalizing team values like “We don’t whine” or “The truly extraordinary do something every day,” and how can I apply that to my own life?
How did peer-to-peer evaluations and personal interviews at UNC help players stay accountable to the team’s values?
Why is it vital for a team to align its actions with its values, and how did that alignment contribute to UNC’s sustained success?
How can I use UNC’s value-setting process to establish my own personal values and create a foundation for success?
