The Inventory of Success

The only really effective motivation in achieving success is internal motivation which arises from some cause, drive, wish, need, or reason within the athlete herself.

Each athlete is personally responsible for motivating herself. Her motivation must come from within herself, through her own efforts. No one can do this for her.
An athlete becomes what her thoughts dwell upon. She becomes what she plants in her mind.

Planting the goal of success in her mind is one of the athlete's most important personal responsibilities in achieving success.

Steps in an Athlete's Personal Motivation:

1. Establish specific measurable goals within your reach. Record them on paper and review them daily.
2. Use positive imagination; imagine yourself as having achieved your goals.
3. Identify all the barriers between yourself and your goals.
4. Develop a specific, realistic, step-by-step plan of action to overcome each obstacle between yourself and your goals.
5. Establish sensible deadlines for the execution of your step-by-step action plan.
6. Develop a burning desire and determination to achieve your goals through execution of your action plan, regardless of criticism of others.
7. Never recognize the possibility of ultimate defeat. Practice positive thinking. Reject negative people or anyone adverse to your success-directed purpose.
8. Keep yourself on target by daily reviewing your recorded goals, your action-plan for goal attainment,and your deadlines for step-by-step accomplishment.

A great athlete is a precious rarity. In order to win, her toughest battle is always within herself. If an athlete can dream of victory and imagine success, then she can motivate herself. For the athlete who can motivate herself, ATHLETIC IMMORTALITY may be just around the corner!

"Progress begins a step at a time. There is no sudden leap to greatness. Our success lies in doing day by day. The upward reach comes from working carefully and well. Good work done little by little becomes a great work. The house of success is built brick by brick."
