I am a big believer in training for a REASON, whether you are a 17 year old middle linebacker or a 64 year old grandmother. If you train for a reason, and VISUALIZE this reason becoming a reality, you are far more likely to reach your goals. And don’t give me any BS reasons why you train, like “to keep in shape” or “to look good?” That is such a cop out, I want to know EXACTLY why you are training. What are your goals? What do you want from the program? Do you want to lose 2 inches off of your waist? Do you want to run the 300 yard shuttle in 50 seconds? Do you want to squat 400 pounds when your team is tested in mid August? Go ahead, take 5 minutes, and record your goals on a small piece of paper.

Now that you know what your goals are, I want you to tape them where you cannot hide from them, on one corner of your bathroom mirror. This way, you will never forget them, you will look at them every night, and every morning, and consequently, you will be far more likely to realizing your dreams.
