So what ever goal you set, once you are diligent and stay committed and "keep the right mindset" on the goal. You can overcome whatever challenges may come and achieve what you want to do.

Being a part of a team, especially a team that works hard and has team unity is one of the best feelings in the world.
NO DRAMA
Chemistry is built, people respect each other, and they work together to achieve the goal.
I had the pleasure of being in this environment again at the BILLIE JEAN KING CUP in Panama and I am inspired...and motivated, cause I saw players pull together as a 'TEAM' have fun and kick butt.... I know it works.

The 5th and final part of the criteria is the your goals need to have a time limit....TIMEBOUNDGOALS.... A DEADLINE!.
Some thing to hold you accountable to what you say you will do, you just never know when your goal will be achieved.
🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾
Sometimes you reach your goals spontaneously, They happen just like that....Timeless.
These are special and are opportunities for you to take advantage of...eg. Getting on a team or winning a match unexpectedly.
Set your time limits..towards achieving your goal. With the hard work, it may come faster than you think.

The 4th part of the criteria is to make your goals RELEVANT to each other.
IS IT ALIGNED WITH YOUR VISION!
🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾
No matter what the goal is, there will be Sacrifice, Tons of hours of hard work, Discipline and Focus.
Your goals should be intertwined with each other in order for you to fulfill your purpose.

🎾🎾🎾ATTAINABLE GOALS🎾🎾🎾
Your ultimate goal should be one that is far reaching.
It becomes ATTAINABLE when you realize that in order to achieve it.....
- YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN.
- YOU HAVE TO HAVE A STRONG WORK ETHIC
- YOU WILL SACRIFICE SOME THINGS
- YOU HAVE FAITH
- YOU WANT IT MORE THAN ANYTHING

*****YOU MAKE IT ATTAINABLE ******
******YOU MAKE IT REALISTIC ********

S M A R T - The 2nd part of the criteria in GOAL SETTING, is to 'MEASURE' every goal that you set.
🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾
HOW CAN YOU IMPROVE, IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO TRACK & MEASURE YOUR IMPROVEMENT RATE.
🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾FOCUS ON MEASURING EVERYTHING

Set both long & short term GOALS, but really FOCUS on the short term goals. The ones that develop your fundamentals.
Don't let the goals that affect performance (your outcome)get you frustrated if you haven't 'fixed the small stuff'.Get yourself ready step by step with hard work and diligence and you will eventually achieve the ultimate goal that you were striving for.

We've decided what it is that we want, now it's time to plan and prepare and make the dream come true.
It starts with GOAL SETTING for every area of your life.
This year we are going to focusing on being SMART and make sure that the GOALS that we set are:
- SPECIFIC
- MEASURABLE
- ATTAINABLE
- RELEVANT
- TIME- BOUND
Make LIFE GOALS also, but let's really focus on the TENNIS GOALS.
