Happy New Year Blayze Soccer Family!
We hope you've had a fantastic holiday season filled with joy, laughter, and maybe a bit too much turkey. Now that we've bid farewell to 2023, it's time to gear up for an epic 2024 on and off the field! 🌟
Get ready because this week, Blayze coach Mike Semenza dives into the ultimate game plan for setting goals this year. And no, we're not talking about just scoring goals on the pitch (though that's always a plus). We're talking about setting personal goals that will take your soccer game to the next level.💪
Let's kick off the New Year with a bang!💥
Goal #1: The Hat Trick of Ambitions
Just like you aim for a hat trick in a game, aim for three main goals for the year. These could be anything from improving your passing accuracy to mastering a killer trick or even hitting the gym more often to boost your overall fitness.🏃♀️ Remember, the more ambitious, the better!
Goal #2: SMART Moves Only
Now, we're not talking about dance moves on the field, we mean setting SMART goals – Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. Instead of saying "I want to be a better player," say "I will practice my dribbling⚽ skills for 30 minutes every day for the next two months." It's like having a playbook for success!
Goal #3: Team Huddle for Accountability
Goals are like penalty kicks – they're more likely to succeed with a little teamwork. Share your goals with your teammates and encourage them to do the same. You can even create a team scoreboard to track everyone's progress. Remember, teamwork 🧑🏾🤝🧑makes the dream work!
Goal #4: Celebrate Like You Scored the Winning Goal
Don’t forget to celebrate your victories along the way. Whether it's mastering a new skill, achieving a personal best in fitness, or simply sticking to your daily practice routine, every small win 🏆counts. Treat yourself to a mini victory dance or a special soccer-themed reward. You deserve it!
Goal #5: The Comeback Kid Spirit
In soccer, you never know when you'll get another chance to score. Embrace the spirit of the comeback kid, and don't let setbacks get you down. If you miss a goal, don't dwell on it – learn from it and come back stronger.💪
So, there you have it, soccer champs! Your game plan for setting goals that will make 2023 your most legendary year yet. Lace-up those boots, hit the field with confidence, and let's make this year a hat trick of success!
Wishing you a year filled with goals – on and off the pitch.
