MESSAGE #1531 WHAT YOU WANT IS YOURS
“Everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask. Everything you want also wants you. But you have to take action to get it.”
—Jack Canfield
MESSAGE #1528 HOW TO BE A GREAT COACH, PARENT, OR ATHLETE
Want to know how to be a great coach, parent, or athlete?
Be like a GPS.
Let me explain.
What does a GPS do when you make a wrong turn? It recalculates, or adjusts.
A GPS doesn’t say, “What’s wrong with you?” or “You’re a terrible driver,” or punishes you.
If you want to be a successful coach, parent, or athlete, you should focus less on critiquing and focus more on making adjustments. No emotions.
That’s it.
Try it and let me know your results.

MESSAGE #1522 WHAT ARE YOU FOCUSING ON?
Focus is not enough.
You have to focus on the right things.
The #1 singles player on my PDS Girls Tennis Team, Samantha Asch recently won the Mercer County Tournament in straight sets.
In fact, she dropped only two games in the entire tournament.
Her opponents were focusing on the wrong thing.
They weren’t focused on beating her, they were focused on not embarassing themselves.
The players that are lucky enough to get a game against her are happy just doing that.
When you are able to get your opponents to focus on the wrong thing, the match is yours.
MESSAGE #1518

MESSAGE #1517
Don’t just do the minimum—do the maximum.

MESSAGE #1511 A QUOTE FROM COFFEY

MESSAGE #1510 YOGI
If you don’t know where you’re going, you could wind up someplace else.
-Yogi Berra, philosopher and New York Yankee
Do you know where you’re going?
Set goals today. Then take the necessary action to attain those goals. If you write down three things that you want to accomplish every day and do whatever it takes to make it happen, you will not only get to where you want to be, but you will go places you never thought you could.
