In our app, we ask our community every Friday what they are proud of from that week.
And every week, we get a variety of responses.
From going heavier with a lift, to getting all their prescribed runs done, to getting up early for a workout.
We ask this for a variety of reasons…
1️⃣ We want our athletes to see how special and amazing they are
2️⃣ We want our athletes to take a moment to stop and think about what they accomplished and stood out that week
3️⃣ We want the other athletes reading the responses to reflect as well and think “oh wow, yes I should be celebrating more from my week too”
4️⃣ It is a coaching tactic to build our athlete’s self-efficacy
Bandura’s research found that confidence grows primarily through evidence that we can do hard things.
Every time an athlete says:
• “I got my long run done.”
• “I fueled correctly.”
• “I didn’t skip strength this week.”
they are building self-efficacy.
Higher self-efficacy is associated with:
• greater persistence
• higher motivation
• better performance
• greater resilience when setbacks occur
In other words:
The act of recognizing a win teaches your brain, “I am capable.”
So we do this for WAY more reasons than engagement and social proof… we do this to make our athletes stronger without them even realizing it
