WHEREVER YOU ARE..........BE ALL THERE  

The most important reason for being in school.............is to get good grades!

Not to shoot good scores,
not to have a good time,
but to get good grades....
....when you are in the classroom!

The most important reason for being in school...........is to shoot good scores!

Not to get good grades,
not to have a good time,
but to shoot good scores....
....when you are on the range!

The most important reason for being in school...........is to have a good time

Not to get good grades,
not to shoot good scores,
but to have a good time....
....when you are NOT in the classroom
....and NOT on the range!

"WHEREVER YOU ARE........BE ALL THERE"


GOALS and TASKS

Define your goal and your plan to get there. My GOAL is to compete in the OLYMPICS. If I want to go to the OLYMPICS, I need experience. I need to compete in a World Championship. To get there, I need to experience International competition. To get there, I need to experience National competition. To get there, I need to experience Regional competition. To get there, I need to experience State competition. To get there, I need to experience local competition. To get there, I need to experience a weekly league. To get there, I need to practice regularly. What does practice consist of? A collection of single shots. One arrow-at-a-time.

GOAL ORIENTED - TASK FOCUSED

Your long-range Goal is the OLYMPICS. Your immediate task is one arrow. If I shoot one-arrow-at-a-time and shoot the best that I can, then my practice will be good. My weekly league will be good. My local tournament scores will be good. My State Championship scores will be good. My Regional scores will be good. My National Championship scores will be good. I can even make it to the World Championship. And eventually, I can compete in the Olympics. My TASK led me to my GOAL!


DESIRE
DISCIPLINE
DEDICATION
DETERMINATION  


WISHES and DREAMS

A wish is a dream with a way to get it. "I wish I could win a GOLD MEDAL in the OLYMPICS"! That is a wish and will always remain a wish. "I have a plan to win a GOLD MEDAL in the OLYMPICS, but I will have to work very hard for it." Now that is a dream that can be fulfilled. The first is a passing fancy and the other is a definite goal or plan.


A commitment to excellence doesn't mean coming close.... a commitment to excellence means being successful


Mental-Management is.... the process of improving one's probability of having a consistent mental performance….. under pressure….. on demand


Remember: A diamond is a piece of coal made good under pressure.


SELF-IMAGE:
Never talk down to anyone......in front of anyone!  


This will to win is very much over-rated!
When compared to the will to practice to win!  


Sow an act.....reap a habit!
Sow a habit....reap a character!
Sow a character....reap a dynasty!


PLAN YOUR WORK and WORK YOUR PLAN
IF YOU FAIL TO PLAN....YOU WILL PLAN TO FAIL!


PRACTICE does not make PERFECT?
PERFECT PRACTICE makes PERFECT!


TO BECOME A CHAMPION,
STRIVE NOT TO SURPASS YOUR COMPETITION,

BUT RATHER YOURSELF.

THOSE WHO CONSISTENTLY OUTPERFORM THEMSELVES,

WILL ULTIMATELY OUTPERFORM THEIR COMPETITORS!


THERE IS NO FAILURE.....
.....UNTIL YOU FAIL TO KEEP TRYING!


A LOSER BECOMES BITTER WHEN BEHIND
AND CARELESS WHEN AHEAD.
A WINNER MAINTAINS EQUILIBRIUM
IN WHATEVER POSITION THEY ARE IN! 


WINNERS ARE ORDINARY PEOPLE.....WITH EXTRAORDINARY DETERMINATION


WINNING ISN'T EVERYTHING....BUT WANTING TO IS !!


IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER YOU WIN OR LOSE...UNTIL YOU LOSE!


BECOMING NUMBER ONE IS EASIER THAN REMAINING NUMBER ONE!


"I WANT TO BEAT GOOD SHOOTERS...WHEN THEY SHOOT GOOD"


I TRIED AND FAILED!
I TRIED AGAIN AND AGAIN....AND WAS SUCCESSFUL!


"IF YOU ARE NOT PART OF THE SOLUTION........
........YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM"


"YOU ONLY GET OUT - WHAT YOU PUT IN"  


SUCCESS IS NEVER ENDING.....FAILURE IS NEVER FINAL!
Robert Schuler


THE PERSON WHO HAS THE MOST PRESSURE ON THEM,
IS THE ONE WITH THE BEST CHANCE OF WINNING....

………AND THEY KNOW IT!!
 


To do your best is not enough....
....you have to know what you are doing to do your best! 


When a person has put a limit on what he will do,
he has put a limit on what he can do!


You cannot teach anyone, anything.....
you can only help them find it within themselves! 


Four things that never return:
the spoken word,
the sped arrow,
the past life,
and the neglected opportunity!


The destination is more meaningful when you enjoy the Journey!
