“In life, as in football, you won’t go far unless you know where the goalposts are.” Arnold H. Glasow

Since we started the week talking about resolutions and goals, I thought it only fitting that we would end it on a somewhat similar note. Being that Superbowl 51 (don’t ask me to try the roman numeral version of 51) is upon us, I think it is worth noting what each of these extraordinary athletes has committed to their goal.

Raising three sons, all who played football, I am guessing that these athletes started young with their goal setting. Like all of us, each year theses athletes’ goals and dreams expanded. An enormous amount of hard work, dedication and commitment is bringing each of these football players to that moment…when a dream becomes reality.

Meanwhile, all of us, will be rooting for our teams (Atlanta Falcons or the New England Patriots), catching up with friends, watching the great ads and hopefully, taking a small internal moment to realize that each of these athletes have worked towards their goals or goal post. Perhaps, maybe taking a small moment to ask ourselves, if we know where our own goal posts are?
