If you want better results for your athletes, forget about setting goals. Instead, concentrate on your system. That's what James Clear meant when he said that we don't rise to our goals, but instead, fall to the level of our system.
Parents frequently believe that their athletes will "figure it out" and achieve whatever goal they set. Yes. The goal is critical. It is critical for athletes to have goals. In fact, that's one of the most important things we do within the competitor programs.
However, we must develop systems to support that goal. And this is where habits come into play.
Time widens the gap between success and failure. Whatever you feed it will multiply. And time becomes your ally when you have GOOD habits.
We can’t assure our daughter’s destiny. Our daughters have to choose their habits, and their habits choose their fate.
So, here are some WINNER habits our daughters can fall for to map out their destiny.
Then, as a bonus, they must be surrounded by encouragement, accountability, mentorship, and an easy-to-follow plan.
We can't just expect our athletes to sink or swim because she will almost certainly sink. But if we surround them with people like in the elite competitor programs, with Kristina and I and other athletes doing similar things, she will be held accountable. She's checking in and sticking to her plan. She is not required to come up with ideas on her own.
That is a winning formula!
