We have all been asked the question at some point. It is asked in almost every job
interview. “WHAT IS YOUR WEAKNESS?” When preparing for that big interview, some
advisors say to put a positive spin on the answer and say something like: “My
biggest weakness is that I care too much.”
This will make you look good, right?
We all know that caring too much isn’t really a weakness. How do you answer the question then? Let’s cover some points in fitness that can
carry over into your general lifestyle that might help you give a better
answer.
From a fitness and athletic performance perspective,
weaknesses are the underlying factors that limit your results. Your weaknesses might be from a
movement-based standpoint, meaning you may have a problem area in regards to
flexibility, mobility, or stability. At
Warrior Performance Gym all of our members go through the Warrior Screening
which pinpoints what your movement-based weaknesses are. Once we know what areas you are lacking in, a
program is designed to meet your individualized needs.
Weaknesses can also be a lack of strength or conditioning. Have you ever heard somebody say something
along the lines of: “I really hate doing (insert exercise here).” Usually the movements (exercises) you hate
doing are because you lack the proper amount of strength or conditioning to do
them. For instance, many people hate to
do lunges, but yet lunges are one of the best movements to help strengthen your
lower body. At Warrior Performance Gym
we are going to challenge you to correct these weaknesses so that they can
become one of your strengths.
Regardless of what your weaknesses are or how many you have,
you need to attack them. If you know
what your weaknesses are (both in fitness and in life) attack them daily and
learn to master your weaknesses. If you
can master each weakness so that it becomes one of your strengths, and then
continue to overcome obstacles like this throughout life, you will have a sense
of accomplishment and pride like never before.
Then, next time you are asked the question “WHAT IS YOUR WEAKNESS?” you
can reply with the correct answer and simply let them know that you are in the
process of making it one of your strengths.
That might leave a lasting impression on them!
ATTACK YOUR WEAKNESSES!
