Early Birds

"The early bird catches the worm."

Studies show that early risers have superior productivity. And much of achievement occurs when nobody is around. 

Anson Dorrance wrote this about the legendary Mia Hamm, whom he saw training alone in a park as he drove to work. 

Allistair McCaw wrote, "I’ve always been in the mindset that our ability to get the best from ourselves comes down to how we manage our energy and time. Your ability to master your life is learning to control where your attention goes. Value what you give your energy and time to."

Habits define you. Craft a "morning routine" detached from the SNOOZE button.

What elements might merit inclusion in a morning routine? 

• Eight ounce glass of water (correct overnight dehydration)
• Healthy breakfast including fruit 
• Gratitude moment 
• Offer to parents, "How can I help?" - Laundry, cleaning, etc. 
• Mindfulness routine (7-10 minutes)
• Morning journaling including your "To Do" planning
• Reading (what are you reading today?)
• Morning walk and/or exercise 

Success is a choice. Potential isn't performance and coaches want to see the "Spiderman" obligation met, "With great power comes great responsibility."
