Positive Athlete Journal Drill August 19, 2008
Each day we will prepare our minds for becoming a postive athelete. Much of what we do is based on mental frameworks or mindsets. We want to develop a mindset for becoming successful athletes. During the season, we will work on mindsets that address attitude, responsibility, self-image, character, leadership and goals. Each day we will have a vocabulary word and a short discussion around the word. Research shows that by improving our vocabulary we can improve our IQ. Who doesn't want to do that? So, let's get started.
"Without some goal or some effort to reach it, no one can live." - Fyodor Dostoevsky
The first word of the day is "direction - a guiding, governing, or motivating purpose; a channel or direct course of thought or action."
Review the definition given here, then in your journal write down the word "direction" and use it in a sentence.
Next, write down an example of a time you have been time-oriented, rather than results-oriented.
Finish, by answering in your journal the question - "Why is it important to have a why?"
