Make sure that you’re tracking your success in reaching your athletic goals as you go. That way, instead of wondering how you became successful, you’ll have a good idea of which strategies worked, and which strategies didn’t work. You’ll know what you did well, and what was effective. And you’ll know what you didn’t do well, and which tactics were ineffective.

You must keep track of your athletic skills, your fitness levels and physical strengths and weaknesses, and your mental toughness and abilities. If you don’t track these, how will you know that you’ve reached your goal, or that you’re even heading in the right direction? What if you need to make adjustments along the way? If you don’t follow and track your success, you’ll never know.

In this section, we show you how to hold yourself accountable to your goals and measure your progress. We also introduce the concept of adjusting your goals, and let you know that doing so is perfectly acceptable.
