What is self-awareness?

About this challenge

What are you good at doing? What are you not so good at doing?

As Sixtyone golfers, we know that we are not as good as we could be, and we are not as good as we will be. We constantly try to improve ourselves, to get a little better every day. By always working to improve ourselves, we help create positive examples for others around us to do the same.

We start every month with a focus on self-awareness. It is the first step to being Sixtyone, understanding how what we think, feel, say, and do affects us and the people around us.

What you could learn
  • The basics of self-awareness.
  • How self-awareness helps at home, in school, and on the golf course.
  • How being self-aware can help us reflect, manage emotions, consider others, recognize our strengths and weaknesses, and learn to accept criticism.
