DEFINING EXCELLENCE Excellence is an outcome – the result of outstanding processes, habits and behaviors. BGGA shows student-athletes how to achieve excellence. At BGGA, we believe: Excellence is clarity – having the end in mind and focusing on the process. Excellence is resilience – the ability to recover, adapt and grow from disruptive experiences. Excellence is raising your standards – expecting more from yourself than anyone ever expects from you. Excellence is attained through asking the right questions.
