Begin with the End in Mind – Stephen R Covey

The first thing I talk about with my athletes is what our goals are at the end of the season. Once that has been nailed down, then we focus on how to achieve those lofty goals that were set. This quote embodies what we work on all season. The time is now and the 2012 season is upon us. Those goals are being put to the test. Anything you do starts with a step and to move in the direction of success you must first make up your mind that you want to be successful. If you want to be the NCAA champion, you first must declare using words that ‘s what you want and work towards it.  When I was competing I began everyday by stating in the mirror while getting ready for class that I wanted to be the NCAA champion. This is one of the 7 habits successful habits people use to attain their goals. If you want to be successful, then you do what others before you have done, reach for the stars and you may just touch it.
