1.Inner Circle
A player’s potential is determined by those closest to him
Lance Armstrong is one of the most talented athletes on earth. The Tour de France, which he has won seven times in a row, has been compared to running twenty marathons on twenty consecutive days. His determination is unquestionable. His training regimen is unmatched. His talent is extraordinary. Yet without a team, he would not have won a single Tour title. His success is from the contribution of his inner circle.
People in your Inner circle will: -
>influence you
>bond and be close with you
>push and challenge you
>encourage and motivate you to go further
>compliment your strengths and weaknesses
>add values to you
It is IC’s goal to be tight and close as a team because this will definitely impact the way we train and play our games.
2.Independent Culture
A team’s strength relies on the strengths of the individual
Michael Jordan made the impossible happen on a regular basis, and he did this by practising the impossible. MJ has train hard to become an incredible player. However, the most important thing is that he has never quit.
We all get stuck doing the same regular things each day, and doing the same things over and over and over. Why not set time aside to practice doing amazing things. i.e slap shot from half court, spin-off, double spin-off, triple spin-off, finishing a 100Metre track within 11 seconds and etc. When you first start, you might only succeed once every 100 times, but over time that will improve to a point where you could make the impossible seem normal.
We would like to build a culture where players of team IC would learn to be independent in their training. Players should be holding their sticks and building their fitness level at home and not just during training. They should be always keen to improve themselves; physically and mentally.
Besides that, players should be independent enough to live up according to their faith. Good conducts on and off court is a good example.
3.Insane Courage
The difference between impossible and possible lies in a person’s determination
In the book of Joshua, there is a story about a man named Joshua. He is the successor of Moses who God promise to lead him and his people to the promise land. After the death of Moses, Joshua had to take over the leadership role and lead the people into the promise land (not an easy assignment). Sure he was lack of confidence and afraid but the word came to him, the word gave him the strength he needs to finish his task. The word was ‘be strong and courageous’.
As team IC, we should always be strong and full of courage when we face challenges in our lives and on court. Let’s face the fact, we can never always be gold medalist in all tournament but we can choose to show our insane courage on court that will blast people off their seats.
Remember the 3 ICs and live it. Floorball is not just a game; it is a new way of life.
