Coach Gruden With a Goal and a Road Map

In last week's (2003)Super Bowl, Tampa Bay coach Jon Gruden led his Buccaneers to a masterfully orchestrated win over the Raiders. Since a year ago he was with the Raiders, having built them into Super Bowl material, some people were calling this match-up "The Gruden Bowl." How did Gruden prepare his team? Two parts of the formula were that he gave them a clear picture of where they were heading and showed them how to get there. According to All Pro safety John Lynch, "He came in the first day and said the goal was a world championship. Then he showed us the road map, and we never wavered from that." (Coach Chucky The Buccaneers' Jon Gruden has all the qualities of the perfect NFL coach: He's tireless, hypercritical and, occasionally, scary as hell Date: 09-09-2002; Publication: Sports Illustrated; Author: S.L.

Dr. Phil on Goals

Dr. Phil has spent a lifetime studying success. According to him, Life Law #10: You have to name it to claim it. "If you cannot name, and name with great specificity, what it is that you want, then you will never be able to step up and claim it." "Most people do not know how to describe what they want, because they don't have a clue what it really is." Therefore, he recommends goal setting.
