I had a coach who taught me to set goals. He made me buy note cards and write down what I wanted to accomplish. Then after I made the big goals, he had me break it down further: little goals to meet the big goal. Each time I met a little goal, I would tape to accomplishment on my bathroom mirror. Every morning, I read what I had already accomplished towards that goal and then would look forward to the next goal. It was an amazing thing to learn and was perhaps the greatest lesson I learned I high school.
