Reece's Growth Journal

[Reece]

Hey guys, I've been peeping everything on these forums lately and it's inspired me to be my best. I'm currently a Sophomore in High School and in a few days it'll be Summer time and I'll be halfway through my high school career. My first two years were OK. During my freshman year, my girlfriend left me halfway through right after I got cut from the basketball team. I felt bad, but I pulled through and I started to mess around with a friend of hers over that Summer. My sophomore year was better because I finally made the team, however my grades were horrible and so were my relationships with females. I'm not really bad with girls or anything because I have a few numbers, but I know that I can do a lot better because I've done it before. It's time for a serious change, I'm tired of wasting time.

My Goals:
Start on the Varsity Basketball Team My Junior and Senior year.
Maintain a 3.5 GPA average throughout the rest of my HS career.
Expand my business (I cut grass and my clientele has been expanding recently.)
Become better at drumming, which I believe is my God given talent.
Have a lot of female friends.
Build a positive reputation.
Meet new people.
Become successful.
((All of these goals are very important to me and are in no specific order.))

Went hard on the court today, did my daily routine consisting of
100 Jump Shots and several series of ball handling drills.
Also made some quick cash today.
I'm coming along with my goals but I'm not getting very far with women
as I used to. The only girls I come across that I can pull are the
easy ones and I'm honestly not interested in a hoe. I want a girl
that has some type of girlfriend potential, not just a hit and quit type
of thing.

Work on your corner 3's. If you really want to start varsity, have a nasty 3, you'll be too valuable a weapon to pass up. (Meaning add 25 shots in each corner to your routine, and probably some free throw reps as well). I wish I was good at basketball but my opportunity for that is long gone. Maybe in my next life.

Your goals are good, but you need ones that are tighter and you know daily if you passed or failed. Create routines (drum for x hours daily, shoot x shots and do x drills, talk to x strangers a day) and try your best to follow them.

You will know when you start to fail by when you fail to complete your routines. Also increase their difficulty as you get better.

The biggest thing is not to quit.

Did a lot of basketball work today
100 Jump shots
Pressured Dribbling
Also had some competition with my friends, I beat them a lot worse than I usually do so I think I'm getting better.
Today was my first day with no school, so I'm wondering how I'm going to
talk to girls if I'm not at school.
Facebook maybe? I have a few girls numbers, but as I said before there just there to smash.
