Moving the Goalposts

People have a choice to set concrete goals or "soft" goals. Imagine that we were given: 

Choices for 2026-2027

• Set specific goals for the upcoming season
• Work to bring the best version of yourself daily

You may or not achieve the first. It does nothing to account for the "what I cannot control" factor. Conversely, if you commit to work to be your best self, there's a reasonable chance that you will accomplish a lot.

Bringing Your Best Version

• Craft your process (attitude, behavior, actions = character)
• Establish habits (e.g. family tasks, study, exercise, practice, journaling)

Your habits set your process. They are the paths to you becoming the person (and player) you want to become. "How you do anything is how you do everything." 

As for habits - pick, stick (with), and check (them).                            "Don't miss twice." If you want to become a writer, write. If you want to become athletic, train.  

Write Your Plan

Having a written plan is a powerful tool. Even stronger is public commitment...too strong for some. 

• Be SMART (specific, measurable, actionable, realistic, timely)
• Specifics allow clarity and track progress.
• If you deviate from the plan, ask if that's good or not. 

Closing Thoughts

Aim high. MVB has a rich tradition of both athletic and academic success. 

Fans enjoy seeing 'our' student-athletes succeed. Among the most valued recognitions are selection to National Honor Society and regular standing on the Honor Roll. 

Lagniappe. Jump!
