REACHING GOALS
WEEKLY LESSONS
SACRIFICE REQUIRED
There are a lot of things, when it comes to finding success in the game
of life, that are optional. Whatever you might find on that exhaustive
list, the one thing you will not find is sacrifice. Sacrifice is
required for reaching your goals as an individual and as a team. As
challenging as this concept is, it is worth every painful moment. When
you learn how to use sacrifice to your advantage, you unlock a door to
success that few people are ever willing to walk through. The reality of
sports and of the game of life, however, is that if you don’t sacrifice
for your goals, then you will sacrifice your goals.
LAST SET, BEST SET
Working with a Last Set, Best Set mentality means that you give your all to the last set, even if you're tired and even if you don't want to. It doesn't just apply to the weight room. If you approach everything that you do with the mindset that you are going to finish it out better than you started, you will be unstoppable on or off the field. When your last set is your best set, that applies to everything that you do throughout the day. Instead of taking your prior effort as permission to go easier on the next task, accept the invitation to keep working hard. You are capable of more than you think you are, but you will never get to the more if you do not make your last set your best set.
SPOT ME
Having a spotter in the weight room sets you up for success. And, if you do fail, they make sure you don't get hurt. Spotters aren't just needed when you're trying to set a new PR. Wherever you want to become your best in life, you need to seek out a spotter to help you get there.
PERFECT PRACTICE
The purpose of practice is to learn all that you can, to build trust with your teammates, and to build confidence in yourself. A perfect practice is one that supports all three of these functions. You are in control of whether or not you have a perfect practice. That's because you choose whether or not you give total focus, give total effort, and are totally coachable.
