Rally Together and Create a Vision for the Future

As we look forward to the future, a great motivator to keep us focused and driven is a vision board.  Check out the following post from our friends in the Badger Region on creating a student-athlete vision board:

What are your goals? What are your academic goals? What are your volleyball goals?

A vision board helps you clarify and concentrate on the realistic goals most important to you. Do you want to make your high school team or the region’s high performance team? Do you want to reduce errors and improve your kill percentage? Maybe you want to jump higher.

Olympic athletes have used vision boards for decades to help them improve their performance.

How to create a vision board:

• Create a list of goals
• Find pictures representing your goals from old magazines or your favorite websites
• Make a collage of your photos on a large piece of construction paper or poster board
• Add motivational words expressing how you want to FEEL once you accomplish your goals
• Once you’re done creating, hang your board in a place where you’ll see it every morning… in a place where you’ll be able to spend a few minutes focusing on it each day.
• Don’t hesitate to update it from time to time.
• Be sure your vision board includes academics. If your long-term goal is to play in college, you’ll need those good grades, too!"
