16 REALISTIC GOALS FOR REASONABLE SUCCESS
Commitment … to common goals to reach potential
Unselfishness … there is no ‘I’ in TEAM, but there is in SCRUTINY from fans
Unity … come together as never before, there are a lot of armchair quarterbacks out there
Improve …nearly every day as a player because more talented targets committed elsewhere
Be Tough … mentally and physically, at times you will be overmatched and second guessed
Self-Discipline ... do it right, don’t accept less, except for a few delay of game penalties
Great Effort . . .it will get you playing time over talent
Enthusiasm . . . will get you through the occasional poor game plans and play calls
Eliminate most Mistakes … don’t beat yourself more than a couple times each game, nobody’s perfect
Never Give Up … never … never … never because you will face players/teams that are already more talented
Don’t Accept Losing but recognize that you will… it will help you avoid disappointment and prepare you for the rest of your life
Self-Limitations … expect more of yourself but realize that even that won’t be enough at times
Expect To Win Except Against Really Talented Teams … and truly believe we will at least often enough to be bowl eligible in most years and a contender every so often
Strive for Consistency … your very, very best most of the time, nobody’s perfect
Leadership … in theory at least, everyone can set the example
Responsibility … You are responsible for your own performance and execution will sometimes have to prevail over game plan
