  1. Warm Up Get out a piece of paper and pen. Spend five minutes brainstorming and writing down on a piece of paper what comes to mind when you think of each word: Respect Discipline Attitude

  2. Warm Up A warm up is usually performed before participating in sports or exercising. A warm up generally consists of a gradual increase in intensity in physical activity. For example, before running or playing an intense sport one might slowly jog to warm muscles and increase heart rate. It is important that warm ups should be specific to the exercise that will follow, which means that exercises (of warm up) should prepare the muscles to be used and to activate the energy systems that are required for that particular activity. Warming up prepares your body mentally & physically.

  4. Wikipedia Definitions • Respect • is one of the most (if not the most) important attributes for society to maintain, yet it is hard to define. On its broadest level respect is the acknowledgment that someone has value. They may be rich, work very hard, or may simply treat everyone in a way that gives them value. The importance on this value is that it changes peoples reactions towards you, usually in a positive way. Respect is treating others the way you would like them to treat you. A person is more likely to treat you with respect if you do what is asked of you instead of arguing with them. It is the value you earned while doing what you were told that has lead the person to respect you and therefore treat you nicely.

  5. Wikipedia Definitions • Discipline • "in the field of child development, discipline refers to methods of modeling character and of teaching self-control and acceptable behavior." • a virtue (the ability to follow instructions well) • Self-discipline refers to the training that one gives one's self to accomplish a certain task or to adopt a particular pattern of behavior, even though one would really rather be doing something else. Thus, self-discipline is the assertion of willpower over more base desires, and is usually understood to be a synonym of 'self control'. Self-discipline is to some extent a substitute for motivation, when one uses reason to determine a best course of action that opposes one's desires.

  6. Wikipedia Definitions • Attitude • a hypothetical construct that represents an individual's like or dislike for an item • "readiness of the psyche to act or react in a certain way" • Unlike personality, attitudes are expected to change as a function of experience.
