When I was 13 years old, I told my dad I wanted to become a Major League Baseball player. He looked at me and said, "You can... but we need a plan." So we sat down and made one. First, we created the big vision. Play in the Major Leagues. Then we worked backwards. We made a one-year plan. At the time, I wanted to make a better travel team and play in bigger tournaments. Then we made a season plan. Then a monthly plan. Then a weekly plan. Then a daily plan. Some days it was: - 50 swings to left-center. - 50 swings up the middle. - 50 swings to right-center. Other days it was: - Dry swings. - Push-ups. - Sit-ups. - Sprints. - Up-downs. Every week, we'd sit back down together. We'd look at the plan. Keep what was working. Change what wasn't. We repeated that process for years. Eventually... I played in the Major Leagues. Because here's one thing I learned from my dad: Dreams don't become reality because you have a vision. They become reality because you have a plan. Most players have goals. Very few have a system for reaching them.
