Homework Assignment #4
You’re on your last day of the first 2 weeks of the Soccer Homework Pre-Season Workout Program.
As you go through this program and get more used to the format and training, make sure and adapt it to you as needed. Tailor the program to your specific needs.
For example, if you want to do more technical work – simply add a video to follow. Maybe add a move or fake.
Remember that this program is about you and for you. There are no right and wrong answers. What matters the most right now is that you show up and do the work. Do what’s comfortable and best for you. AND make it fun or reward yourself.

Quote
The quote for the assignment is motivation for the entire length of the Homework Assignment. For you pre-season preparation this means that it will be either 1 or 2 weeks on the same quote(s). Come back to the quote for each assigned day. Be ready – each reading might present a new meaning, thought, or motivation! This is a good thing.
Set Goals
Now that you’ve had time to work out and work on your “map” – FINALIZE IT!
Write out your goals in a clean neat copy and put them where you can see them and read them everyday. You will want to review them each morning as you get up and each night before you go to bed.
Remember that these goals are there to keep you accountable. Pay attention to them and take them seriously. Because if you want anyone else to take you seriously, you must first take yourself seriously.
