True Commitment

'COMMITMENT' nearly as often as we hear the terms New Ideas and Goals.

 COMMITTING to a Goal is more difficult than setting the Goal. Imagine pursuing a Goal until every possible avenue to succeed has been exhausted. A question for wrestlers to ask themselves is whether they are willing to fully commit themselves to a Goal. If that question can be answered in the affirmative, an athlete will be well on the way.

Committed individuals are:

- honest with themselves

- cannot blame others for their shortcomings
- will not look for an escuse

I believe that there are things that wrestlers and coaches can do to make committing to a Goal a reality.

- be realistic about what you might be able to accomplish

- it is also important for the athlete and the coach to be on the same page regarding individual and team   objectives
- a one-on-one meeting with every athlete is a very effective way for a coach to find out exactly what an athlete is thinking and what his or her Goals are

Set your Goal, commit yourself to the goal and do not let anyone or anything get in your way.
