HOUSTON â€" As a part of the Houston Athletics' Women Empowered initiative, several of the women's programs will take part in a leadership development and teambuilding event hosted by THE PROGRAM.
This weekend, Houston women's teams will participate in THE PROGRAM's Judgment Day activity. Teams will experience a customized, two-day intensive program that pushes athletes outside of their mental and physical comfort zones and trains them to achieve success through improved leadership and coordinated team effort.
Day 1 focuses on challenging an athlete's tendency to rely on personal individuality and talent. This involves pushing each individual to the limits of his or her capabilities in order to drive home the core message that talent is not sufficient to win the day.
With this lesson fresh in their minds, on Day 2 athletes are presented with a new set of challenges and given objectives that can only be accomplished through the exercise of peer leadership and coordinated team effort. Through these exercises, the athletes are trained both to lead and follow, and to practice a team-before-self mentality when facing adversity.
WOMEN EMPOWERED
Women Empowered is a new initiative created to support Houston Athletics women's programs. Through community outreach and fundraising, Women Empowered looks to provide for additional team needs, team unity workshops and future opportunities for international travel and competition.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
THE PROGRAM was founded in 2008 with the goal of providing professional and collegiate athletic teams with the best leadership development and team building services in the country.
We believe in personal development, leadership development, and team building through shared adversity. Experience has shown us that we only grow as individuals and as a team when we are outside of our comfort zone.
While our services are often intensely physical, we are NOT a strength and conditioning company, nor are we focused on improving individual talent. Talent is valuable, but it is good leadership and teamwork that enable reliable performance at the highest levels of competition.
Our objective at THE PROGRAM is to help your athletes understand and internalize this reality, and in doing so elevate their performance to the championship level.
