“Bring Out The Greatness Within You”

Have you ever wanted to play like you were worth a million dollars? I will show you the secrets on how to succeed in sports making you the athlete you often dream about.


Understanding Yourself

There is a natural and orderly progression toward becoming successful which is displayed in the graph I have designed below. You can see that self-awareness surrounds the pyramid and is the initial cornerstone for gaining success.
Once you understand who you are, everything else will fall into place automatically. Because you know your strengths and weaknesses, you will begin to gain a more positive attitude about yourself and feel a greater confidence in relating to other people.

Next, you begin to define your
goal (become player of the week, all- conference, win a championship, etc.), and then begin to dream about your success. This all leads toward developing a passion for what you want. If you don’t have that passion, you won’t gain success. With a solid foundation in place, you won’t have to think about achieving your goal as it will simply be on auto pilot.

The Action Plan

I cannot impress upon you enough to have an
action plan in place. An action plan is designed to keep you focused on your goal. Remember that actions speak louder than words and you are judged on what you do not what you say.

So, develop that action plan and stick with it. If you want to strive to become player of the week, make a plan that will keep you on track to get there. What can you do to enhance your talents to reach that goal? Perhaps you may listen and learn better from your coaches, you may begin a rigorous off-season training program, you might do drills that will help improve your game during the off-season. Whatever it is, do it!

Once you develop that action plan, you are making a commitment toward your success and sticking to the plan is what passion is all about. The difference between a good athlete and a great athlete is not who has the greater skills, but who has the stronger mind to succeed.
