Napoleon Hill wrote the timeless classic, Think and Grow Rich. Think about it metaphorically. He outlines steps to achieving your goal. Apply his wisdom to volleyball.
Replace "money" in his book with success.
First. "Fix in your mind the exact amount of success you desire."
For example, I will (or I intend to) become the best setter in the Middlesex League.
Second. Determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the success you desire. (There is no reality as "something for nothing.")
I will invest at least a minimum of an hour a day to build skill, game knowledge, physical development, and resilience.
Third. Establish a definite date when you intend to possess the success you desire.
I will build these skills by the first of September, 2025, in preparation for the next volleyball season.
Fourth. Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire and begin at once, whether you are ready or not to put this plan into action.
These are my strategies to transform DESIRE into REALITY. They include offseason volleyball play, film study (e.g. YouTube videos such as The Art of Coaching Volleyball), strength and conditioning, and mindfulness for a minimum of five minutes a day. Here's a mindfulness script to prepare.
Fifth. Write out a clear, concise statement of the amount of success you intend to acquire, state what you intend to give in return, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it.
This is my written plan. After completion, print it out so you see it every day as a reminder of your commitment. Track your investment.
Sixth. Read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once just before retiring at night and once after arising in the morning. AS YOUR READ - SEE AND FEEL AND BELIEVE YOURSELF ALREADY IN POSSESSION OF THE SUCCESS.
Believe in yourself, your process, and your investment in transforming the plan into success.
"DREAMS ARE THE SEEDLINGS OF REALITY."
