Planning For Success

 

 Planning For Success….

Coach Rashad Ahmad

 
As young people what are some of the things you do everyday that you plan for?
When you think about those things, what is important to you?

Are family, friends, being popular, sports, are those some of the things that are important?
Looking at track & field and looking at what you need to do to be successful at this, what are the things you  do to help you become successful?.
 
Do you just wake up each day and hope to be successful, do you have a plan, but not just any plan? You need to have a plan for success or a plan of success. Don’t hope for it, don’t guess or wish upon a star for it, plan on it. Just like a teacher will have a lesson plan, so should you have a plan, a plan for success.  There is an old saying ” If you fail to plan, you’re planning to fail”…what this means is, if you don’t have a plan in place to guide you, then you are planning to fail.
 
Part of your plan for success, is having those people in your life you can trust, you can count on. Have people who believe in you and your dreams, hopes, aspirations. Surround yourself with these kind of people, it doesn’t have to be alot of people, but again they have to support you. If it is alot of people who support you, then you have more support.
 
We all know that there are people in the world who don’t want you to succeed, who won’t support you, those are the one’s who are not part of your circle, your support group. How do you know who these people are, well just keep your eyes and ears open, they will let you know who they are, when they do, you must distance yourself from them.
 
I will continue in part two of this article about how important it is to have people on your side, in your corner, to help you become the success you are trying to be in track & field. and also in life.
 

To Your Success,
