I try to keep all of my students focused on what their immediate goals are... and to be very honest about achieving them. But I am proof positive that sometimes the goal can go away, and then be transformed into something new.
This video about Quinn Meinerz, a guard from DIII UW-Whitewater, who became an NFL Pro Bowl players is amazing. It reminded me of another player I played against from UW-La Crosse named Tom Newberry who was also an NFL Pro Bowler.
Your really BIG DREAMS don't have to go away... but you will be better served by focusing on what you can do RIGHT NOW to be your best... AND ENJOY THE JOURNEY!
Who knows where it may take you? 😄
