Three Keys to Finding Year End Success

Hello Champion:

As we enter into the final month of this year, it is important to assess our successes and failures.

It is EASY to let past failures define you. Setbacks are often seen through a negative viewpoint. However, real leaders see obstacles as an opportunity to become better. There is always another chance to chase greatness.

Take the final weeks of 2021 to review your goals, and find ways to improve yourself for 2022. As athletes we constantly face adversity.

Critics telling us that we are not good enough.

Coming up short in the big game.

Facing a physical or mental setback.

However, a growth mindset and adaptability are the keys to overcome adversity. We must change our mindset when obstacles derail us from our path.

Ask yourself - How can this setback make me stronger down the road? 

“From the time you take your first breath, you become eligible to die. You also become eligible to find your greatness and become the one warrior.” -David Goggins

Remember, contentment is the evil in sport. We must resist this evil and push ourselves towards greatness.

Take this month to look back and critique yourself. Set yourself up for achievement in 2022. However, it is crucial to not wait until 2022 to start this change. 

How will you raise your game next year?

Here are three strategies to help you finish 2021 strong:

• Do not wait for an arbitrary time to become better.

• Always be willing to assess your personal progress.

• Things that seem negative at face value are opportunities to become better for the future.

No matter what setbacks you faced this past year, you still have a pulse, and the best is yet to come!
