Read the Blog Post very closely! Understand the power of having WRITTEN goals. This is your life and your future. DO NOT RUSH it. Put some music on and really think about what you would like to accomplish in life. You only get one. Really reflect.

1ST Draft: MUST BE HANDWRITTEN IN YOUR NOTES!!!
Final Draft
ASSIGNMENT: This is your life. Take the to create a blue print for your success. If Lou Holtz accomplished 102 / 107 that is 95.3% of his goals. If you are successful as Coach Holtz, you will have accomplished 49 of your 51 goals.
CATEGORIES: Lou Holtz had 5 categories – Things he wanted to do religiously, as a husband, professionally, financially, excitement-personally.
CREATE THREE of the FOUR categories to write goals under. (You can add the other two if you would like.)
- Family member – child, sibling, grandparent As a high school senior sometimes these relationships take a back seat to school and friends. Try to find some time to spend with family members. Maybe even incorporate sports. Play catch. Shoot some hoops. Play horseshoes or pickle ball. Have lunch – the person may even buy! Really try to complete a few of these before graduation. Even as simple as a phone call or text a week to a family member.
- Excitement personally (easiest) This is the main focus of the 1st time we completed this activity. It might include travel, sporting events, activities, accomplishments, etc.
- Professionally / Passion: List your passion and / or possible career path. Try to look ahead 3 -7 years and what you would like to have accomplished by the time you are 25 years old.
- Student-athlete / student / military / career The next four years will be very important for your development as a person. Write a few goals you would hope to accomplish.
List 51 goals. Lou Holtz listed 107 goals. That could be a target of yours. Since he had 107 goals, he averaged 21.4 per category. So if we use this guide you should come up with 64.2 goals. Let’s shoot for AT LEAST 51 goals.
Bring List to class. Think about how you are going to accomplish your list. Be prepared to show the teacher your list.
