Published: Fri, 01/22/21

Thank you everyone for answering the questions that were asked.

Your contribution is helping us plan so we can make the 2021 Summer Camp better than ever!

The top items for summer camp from the surveys are.....

Fun...(Most requested)

COVID Safety

Confidence

Mental Toughness

Teamwork/Friendships

I think we have a good understanding of what you would like to see happen.

It makes sense...Who wouldn't want their child to have a fun-filled summer and make new friends?

We have also spoken to a lot of parents that are very interested in their children becoming tougher.

Unfortunately, there has been such a push on being "fair" and "everyone being happy" that everyone was a winner and no one lost.

That is simply not reality.

It may have created higher confidence, but that confidence would get easily shattered when dealing with the unfamiliar feeling of failure.

We want to help with this and we will!

We are going to make an announcement that you are going to love. You will not only want to send your children to our summer camp, but need to!!!!!

Once we get everything locked in, we'll send out an email with the announcement!!!

In the mean time, I would to share with you again two key tips to helping your child apply UMAC values at home.

Our goal is to help you and your child get the most out of your training.

Accountability

Please use UMAC as a serious leveraging tool to keep your child acting like a Black Belt. My mother would say to me when I was a young child if I misbehaved, “Do you want me to tell Mr. Connolly?” I would have rather been grounded for a year before she went to my Taekwondo Instructor. Hopefully it is not that drastic of a situation. However, if you say something like:

“Is that how a black belt would act?” or “Remember, you can’t give up, you are training to be (or are) a black belt”

You could then use Taekwondo, their Instructor and most definitely you could use me to help redirect your child to the behavior that you would like to see.

Works incredibly well!

Black Belt Mindset Exercise

I remember when my daughter Kimberly achieved her Black Belt, I really wanted her to take ownership and her being a black belt become a driving force for her success in the future. I asked her to say, “I AM a Black Belt” in front of the whole graduation. Almost making a declaration of truth and realization of the accomplishment.

A great exercise with your child is to have them say three “I AM …” empowering statements to help your child develop the identity of who you (and them) want them to be. Think about Muhammad Ali. He told himself he was the greatest, “I am the greatest” way before he truly was the greatest. We call that the truth in advance.

We will be sending some additional information in a few days about the upcoming special announcement and of course an opportunity for early rate registration very soon so please read the up and coming summer camp email!

Have a wonderful day!
