Goal Pyramid
THIS IS A GOAL PYRAMID THAT WE HAVE DEVELOPED OVER THE YEARS. ONE OF THE REASONS FOR DEVELOPMENT INVOLVES THE IDEA OF 110%. ALL ANYONE CAN GIVE IS 100% - 100% WOULD REPRESENT MORE THAN ANYONE CAN GIVE. FOR A FULLER DISCUSSION OF THIS PHEMONMENA SEE THE PERFORMANCE ZONE PAGE. THERE ARE 110 BLOCKS TO THIS PYRAMID SYMBOLIZING 110%. IF OUR ATHLETES FOCUS ON THESE BUILDING BLOCKS AND COMMIT TO THEM, THEY WILL BE SUPER BUSY BUILDING THEIR OWN (AND THEIR TEAM'S) SUCCESS AND HAVE LESS TIME FOR GETTING INTO TROUBLE.
WE HAVE BUNCHES OF THESE PYRAMIDS DUPLICATED IN VARIOUS SIZES. WE WANT LOTS OF THEM AROUND FOR THE ATHLETES TO SEE AND REMIND THEM OF WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY ARE ABOUT.
EACH YEAR WE HAVE A PARENT'S MEETING. WE LIKE TO DISTRIBUTE THE PYRAMID TO THE PARENTS AND PLAYERS AT THIS MEETING. WE WOULD LIKE THE PLAYERS AND PARENTS TO TAKE THE CHART HOME AND DISCUSS IT TOGETHER. AFTER THE DISCUSSION THE COACHES SIT DOWN WITH PLAYERS INDIVIDUALLY AND MAKE A GOAL CHART FOR THE YEAR.
WITH A COLORED MARKER, THE COACH AND PLAYER MARKS THOSE BLOCKS THAT THE PLAYER CAN COMMIT TO IMMEDIATELY LIKE: TRY OUT FOR THE TEAM, BE IN SCHOOL, COMMUNICATE, BE ENTHUSIASTIC, START A WEIGHT PROGRAM, BE ELIGIBLE, ETC. WITH ANOTHER COLORED MARKER THEY MARK THOSE BLOCKS THAT REPRESENT THEIR GOAL FOR THE YEAR. THIS WILL VARY FROM YEAR TO YEAR DEPENDING ON WHAT CLASS THE ATHLETE IS CURRENTLY IN.
TWO CHARTS ARE MARKED. ONE FOR THE ATHLETE TO TAKE HOME AND KEEP IN AN AREA WHERE HE WILL SEE IT EVERY DAY. ANOTHER IS MARKED AND KEPT BY THE COACHES. IF THE ATHLETE STRAYS FROM THE SUCCESS ROAD DURING THE YEAR, THE COACH CAN SIT DOWN WITH HIM, PULL OUT THE PYRAMID AND ASK IF WHAT HE IS DOING WILL LEAD HIM TO THE FULFILLMENT OF HIS GOALS.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE YOUR OWN PERSONALIZED COPY OF OUR PYRAMID, SEND ME YOUR NAME, ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBER, NAME OF SCHOOL, AND SCHOOL MASCOT. THE COST IS $7.50 (INCLUDES PRODUCTION, SHIPPING AND HANDLING). I WILL RETURN TO YOUR BY PRIORITY MAIL A GOAL PYRAMID FOR YOU TO USE ALONG WITH YOUR SCHOOL'S NAME AND MASCOT. IF YOU LIKE, EMAIL ME WITH AN ATTACHED GIF OR JPEG FILE OF YOUR SCHOOL MASCOT AND I WILL INCLUDE THAT ON THE PYRAMID AS WELL. IN ADDITION, I WILL SEND YOU A PERSONALIZED STRENGTH GOAL CHART FOR HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES.
