Dear team,

I hope everyone is off to a great start in 2017. The new year is exciting because...... It just is!! But hopefully everyday of the year is full of excitement!

Today let's talk about TIME

The one thing we all have in common, 24 hours in a day. I've attached a schedule template and an example for your reference to make the best use of your time. I learned this in college from our wrestling coach, and I've used this template for 10+ years. The basic idea is:

1) ORGANIZE your day

2) FOLLOW through with the plan you organized (means nothing if you don't)

3) PLAN AHEAD when conflicts prevent your follow through

--------

Notes on the schedule template example:

- USE COLOR for you to see how much time you spend doing stuff.

- Make sure it's REALISTIC: (Studying the Odyssey at 11pm on Friday is probably not a good idea).

- COMMUNICATE with your spouse or coach what time is for what.

*** If you have a non traditional work schedule, it's important to update your schedule every time it changes.

See you on the mat!

Dear Team,

Full Schedule starts Tuesday, January 3rd. Here are a few things to think about to help you find success on and off the mat in 2017. Please check the schedule online for details.

1. CONSISTENCY is CONFIDENCE

2-3 times of consistent training a week is enough to make progress. It takes discipline to get started but from that we gain freedom.

2. FRUSTRATION is PROGRESS

Thrive and embrace frustration. It means you're close. The keys to getting through the door of frustration is patience, deep thought, and knowing the process will yield a better you.

I hope these things contribute to your progress in 2017!

Happy year of the Rooster!

Eliot

See you on the mat!
