“The Mind Reader”

Now you can see why DiSC® has more than 45 million users world-wide! It’s so powerful that you can know what type of behavior people possess even if you are meeting them for the first time! Just think of the advantages you will have in the following situations:

· Interviewing for a job
· Relating better to teachers, professors, coaches, and teammates
· Negotiating to get what you want
· Hiring the right individual for the job
· Becoming a better athlete and leader

Just think, you will know what actions people will take BEFORE they take them—it’s almost like reading their mind! You can gain the advantage over your competition and get what you want by knowing the secret on what makes others tick.

Drilling Down

Let’s get back to athletics and how this assessment helps you become a better athlete by working more closely with your teammates. In part 3 of this series, we started to talk about strengths and weaknesses and I gave examples of these (making quick decisions, impatience, over-analyzing). We all certainly practice many more than these.

It’s not just important for you to know how you behave on the field, it’s important for your coaches and teammates as well. If you and your coach are aware you have difficulty making quick decisions, you need to work on this important skill in practice. Just because an individual has the right physical tools, it doesn’t mean he/she will be great at a position. To become only physically fit for a game, is just not enough.

As coaches and athletes, we often overlook the behavior aspect. The concentration for winning is almost always based on strength and speed. Although these are important ingredients, knowing your behavior (attitude) is essential for your success.

This self-awareness is the cornerstone for you to compete at your optimal level. The mind and understanding yourself better is gaining ground with professional athletes. Often times you see them walking with their sports psychologist alongside. Athletics has become an enormous mind game and the pressure to succeed has never been greater.
