PLAYER DEVELOPMENT JOURNALING
Writing in a Player Journal helps student-athletes remember and commit to goals.
Someone who has a "Learning Mindset " is continually focused on getting better every day. Players who improve faster than their opponents have 3 very important learning habits. They:
1. SET GOALS: They set goals prior to practice. They have a plan for practice.
2. EXECUTE: They work on their goals and give themselves feedback as they practice. They are engaged and aware of what they are learning as they practice.
3. REFLECT: They think about goals they achieved in today’s practice and what they want to achieve in the next practice. They set goals for the next day.
Benefits of Journaling:
1. Helps you remember goals. It keeps you focused on what is important for you.
2. All of your thoughts on paper so you can clearly see what is important and find solutions to problems.
3. Writing or typing in a journal helps you commit to your goals.
