~:[CH14 - Day 22]:~ One Down ...

League has been quiet the battle this year. Every game is a battle and the team needs to come ready to play. Having lost the first matchup, the team came motivated to do well and it showed. Their hustle, determination, and focus was evident as they played four quarters of basketball and ultimately took a three point lost and turned it into a 32 point victory. Of course, this is only one game. The team can only celebrate for so long as they have another touch matchup on Friday. When setting goals, I always tell my students and athletes to set goals that they can make progression with. Set a preliminary goals and then move on from there. Celebrating the small victories, but still keeping focused on the ultimate goal. I hope these athletes focus on their progression one game at a time, patting themselves on the back tonight, yet getting ready for the next game when they wake up in the morning. In life, when we have a big breakthrough, I hope that we can stay focused on where we ultimately want to go. I hope we can also keep our pace, knowing that we don't have to rush towards where we are going. As while progress can help catapult us forward, it can also be the poison the leads to our demise. Success is achieved by keeping things in perspective and not forgetting what got us here in the first place, which will be the things we need to ascend to the height we wish to reach. Tonight was one day, but there still are a number of check marks left to go ... Let's go Dons!
