Part Three in a Series

By Dr. Greg Shepard Part II] In A Series SETTING YOUR GOALS It is important to set goals which can be measured. We do not worry about the word realistic, only whether our goal can be measured. Our Master Plan includes many smaller steps towards to road to success. We do this because we are not content to “WAIT” for our natural abilities to bring us to success but strive with coral commitment to “MAKE”

OUR GOALS: OUR RESPONSIBILITY There are sx major steps in setting goals with BFS program during the off season. If these steps are followed by athletes and coaches, success is sure follow. These six steps have a fantastic success rate by those using them after a BFS clinic presentation. We do not set short range or long range for larger groups. An athlete at home can use anyching approved by his parents to mark his dots. There are five separate dot drills each drill is done a toral of six times. success happen.

Five dots are placed on the floor. lt works best if a 3" round dor is painted on the floor. Some coaches paint many scations GOALS. Step one is nutrition which was discussed last issue.

We ask athletes at B. Now go in order; Dot D, E, C, A, B. clinics if they brushed their teeth every morning. Thank goodness most of them raised their hands. Everyone agrees this is done out of habit. We feel this is an excellent time to do the BFS Agility Drill. It too should become a habit. All athletes are to do this Agility Drill 6 times per week at home or schoo! on their own. The BSF Agility Drill is commonly called the “Dor Drill.”

I first heard about it years ago from Adolph Rupp, the basketball coaching legend from the University of Kentucky. meaningful standards and the fact it can be done at home.

ESETTING YOUR GOALS The Dor Drill will be hard at first. It is tiring and you may appear clumsy. However, if you'll do this six times a week, in a very shore time improvement will come rapidly. You can have quick feet in a month or two.

Each athlete should set two goals. The first is to do it 6X per week and secondly on how fast he wants to go. The Dor Drill is done by Mark Eaton with Coach Shepard in 60 seconds after a weight training session on Video Cassette.
