M.A.P.
The M.A.P. is based on Mastery, Autonomy and Purpose.
M.A.P. methodology is a culmination of seventy years of research into
human motivation and intrinsic drive. Ideas have emerged in the field
of psychology to increase and nurture internal drive and motivation,
and these break-through strategies are in many ways contrary to the
traditional education and teaching model. BGGA has adopted these
principles in our M.A.P. methodology to develop a new generation of
self-determined and authentic young athletes.
Mastery: The highest level of skill and
competence; self-awareness; self-management;
to be certain of self, not circumstance.
Our goal is to develop “masters” … not
dabblers. Mastery takes hard work, practice,
effort and, most importantly commitment to
the process of improvement.
Autonomy: Self-direction, the ability to make
decisions, to have freedom of self within
boundaries and controls; to be authentic.
This is true autonomy.
In a society of constant multimedia messaging
and instant gratification, it is rare to find auton-
omy in our youth. Autonomy, however, is a key
attribute for success. We will nurture and develop
autonomy through the coaching of the program
to create habits that will sustain our athletes
through college and beyond.
“It is in our moments of decision that our
destiny is shaped.” Tony Robbins.
Purpose: Reasons come first.
Answers come second.
Purpose is the most important element of M.A.P.
Methodology. This is the “Why.”
Find the why, the purpose, the reason and you
unlock potential. We are the WHY team, and that
is because uncovering a person’s reasons and
motivations is key to being their best. Without
aligning values, it is impossible to achieve our
goals, and it is the internal conflicts that stop us
from being our best.
