Developing
Perseverance in our Youth – Local Personal Development Center Dedicates July to
Achieving This Important Goal!
“Talent gets you to the starting line;
perseverance to the finish.” -- Dr. Robyn Silverman – Popkin-Brogna’
s Child Development Expert
July
2015 is Perseverance Month as part of Popkin-Brogna Jujitsu’s
Powerful Words Character Development program! All students will be studying,
developing and experiencing powerful life lessons focusing on understanding the
importance of steady, goal-oriented persistence, despite challenges or
obstacles. In addition to all of the
physical skills that they'll be working on this month, students will be
discussing and practicing the following concepts both in and out of class:
·
Perseverance defined:
What it means to keep going and choose not to quit
·
What gets in our way?
Fears, priorities, character challenges & peer pressure
·
What keeps us going?
Support, Passion, Action, Reason, Knowledge (SPARK)
·
The benefits of
perseverance: Goal-getting, trust, character & confidence
“Perseverance is “grit” or stick-to-itiveness. The
decision to persevere even when challenged says a great deal about someone’s
character. People who persevere show
mental toughness, commitment, focus, reliability and integrity. They follow
through with what they say they will do so they are often perceived as
trustworthy and reliable. As you can imagine, perseverance is a very important
trait of a leader.” says Dr. Robyn Silverman, Popkin-Brogna's child & adolescent expert, and
creator of the Powerful Words Character Development system used at the facility.
Howard Popkin, Sensei , Owner of Popkin-Brogna Jujitsu says, "Teaching our students to develop
perseverance this month is very exciting.
The ability to stick with something until they are successful will be a
skill they’ll use for the rest of their lives. I’m confident that this life
skill will prove valuable to them, at our academy, in school and of course in
“the real world!” We’re all excited to
see the positive impact that this month’s Powerful Words Curriculum has on our
students as well as on our entire community.
That’s what it’s all about for us and we take this very seriously.
It’s
a pleasure seeing our community recognized as a place with Powerful Character,
and seeing our students lead the way! As this community’s premier Powerful
Personal Development Center, we take this responsibility very seriously. We’re
thrilled to help our students and our community to thrive and succeed, and Perseverance
month is going to help us to do just that.”
Popkin-Brogna’s strong
curriculum and the Powerful Words Character Development system provide our
students with the opportunities to become UNSTOPPABLE in life. These lessons
will remain with our students for life and we're honored to help them achieve
the success that they deserve” says Popkin.
Howard Popkin is the Sensei of Popkin-Brogna Jujitsu. He and his team have helped thousands of kids, teens, and adults to
