Instant Success...

Want to be clear about this. No one is an instant success. The only people who have instant success are people who have worked long and hard to get to where they need and want to be in their lives. If you aren't willing to put in the work to get to where you want to be, expect to be where you are forever. You as a person need to be willing to grow, learn, and adapt to the best of your abilities. I think that this is one of the strongest things that we can do as human beings. I think that by allowing yourself to fail, learn, and grow only enables you to do it more. Fail and fail often. Learn to accept challenges and push yourself to your abilities.

I always make a to do list to start each day, and as successful as I feel those lists are at organizing myself I often find myself looking back at them and thinking that I could have gotten more done. I have started to look at to do lists as if they are lists that truly never get accomplished. What I need to begin doing is looking at what is my intention for the day, and build my own goals within that for a set period of time. To do lists should come from within the goals. They should help, and focus me into what is truly important to accomplish for the day.

These lists should not be solely focused on work. These goals should be looking at everything that you have to offer as a person. If you are looking at your goals as only you job then you are thinking too small. You should be striving to adapt and adjust your lists so that they make you a better person. To do lists should be more like "What am I lists". I think that these to do lists can ultimately define us and make it more difficult to get work done, than they are to actually accomplish.

So maybe then, goals and to do lists do cross over at some points throughout our lives. I think that this is important to distinguish and think about when you are accomplishing what you set out to do. Daily reminder that you are what you think about, talk about, and do. So make sure that you are being straight with all three of those items.

Build yourself up, help others, be the best person that you can be, don't let anyone get in your way. Rule your world.

Building From The Bottom Up

Image
Happy Monday everyone hope that everything is going good! Today's thought includes looking at building a sports program from the bottom up. I know the occasionally I like to focus on struggles that I am encountering and share them with everyone. As an assistant coach I find it difficult sometimes to try to fit in or find my way. This isn't a social thing but more of a finding where you fit in the team or coaching "tree."  For instance I find that when varsity coaches are looking at their team they seem to put a greater emphasis on the varsity level (Often times rightfully so). Especially early in the season this is a great time for all three levels to really get acclimated to the whole program. Whether that means learning or reviewing tactics or schemes or even plays that might pop up. This might be valuable time for senior or even upper class men to show or teach the underclassmen different things. (Hopefully this goes beyond the field and relates to them perso...

Fouled Straight Back

Someone who hasn't made a play like this might think that this is nothing. In reality this is difficult for any catcher. A foul ball straight back to Sandy Leon might seem typical but don't think this for granted. Big play by the catcher to realize the foul ball stand up, identify where it is and how it is spinning which is toward the pitchers mound. Most high school or college catchers might find it a habit to go straight up to the ball and not wait for it to move backward to them. This is good training by anyone who has worked with Leon. Identify the ball, move slowly toward it. Toss the mask. Simple to see but when it comes to execution of the play it can be more difficult.

Do You Have Intent?

What is your intent on a daily basis? Are you getting better? Are you practicing deliberately? Or are you just going through the motions and letting life happen to yourself? I think this is something I have been thinking about a lot recently. I want to make sure that I am making the most out of myself and others that I am around. Having INTENT is one of the biggest and best things that you could associate yourself with. Think of this, have you ever written anything down knowing that it would come true? That you would work so hard until you had what you wanted? That is intent. That is having a clear goal for yourself. If you aren't trying to point to what are you honestly looking at? What do you want to be in 5 years? How will you get there? You need to be focused with one thing in mine. I have been mulling this idea around. What is my own intent? I think that I am getting closer to identifying exactly what I want to get done in the day, and what I want to do to get there. So ...
