Now is the time to develop some pre-season goals (as if there is a pre-season anymore). What would you like to be able to bench, squat, deadlift, hang clean, power clean? How many push ups will you be able to do at the beginning of the season? Will you be able to run 2 miles under 12 minutes...work with your coach to develop some pre-season fitness goals?
Start to think about how you want to finish the season. Do you want to be a Regional Champ? Sectional Champ? State Place Winner? State Champion?
Set a long term and set some interim goals to make sure you are making progress towards that long-term goal. Make sure you review your progress at least once every couple of weeks. The key is to set a specific goal. Don't set a goal to wrestle well. That particular goal is not easily evaluated to see if you achieved this goal.
Set a goal to win a State Championship then set interim goals to win a couple interim tournaments. Make sure you work hard to qualify for each stage of your year-end tournaments. Make sure you don't overlook your qualifying tournaments to get to the state finals.
