3. Wilson uses attention to detail, preparation to excel at quarterback Published: September 5, 2013 By ERIC D. WILLIAMS — eric.williams@thenewstribune.com Russell Wilson does not leave anything to chance. That the quarterback was able to play so well in his first season with the Seattle Seahawks was no accident: It was done with dedication and meticulous attention to detail. Along with the iPad that each player receives with a playbook loaded onto it, Wilson has three notebooks — one each for pass plays, run plays and pass protections — that he pores through daily and uses as study guides away from the practice field. His neat and tidy locker includes a minute-by-minute breakdown of his daily schedule, his personal goals for the season, and a motivational quote from Michael Jordan. Wilson said these habits began at a young age when he would watch his late father, Harrison Wilson III, write to-do lists for his day, and his life. “That kind of kick-started me,” Wilson said. “I’m a self-motivator. So for me, I’m going to do whatever it takes to get myself prepared to play. So if I can prepare better than anyone else, if I can prepare for that game-winning throw or game-winning situation, then that’s where I separate myself. “And so the relentless note-taking and attention to detail started with my dad helping me observe other people.”

4. That focus also is a factor in one of Wilson’s best attributes: decision making. As important as it is for a quarterback to possess physical talents, it’s crucial to be able to quickly read a defense and decide what is the best thing to do. Warren Moon, now a Seahawks broadcaster after a Hall of Fame career as a quarterback, said Wilson is part of a unique rookie quarterback class that far exceeded expectations, largely because of how they handled the mental aspect of the position. “That whole class last year, I think, is ahead of the curve as far as decision making,” Moon said. “Andrew Luck (of the Indianapolis Colts) is the same way. RGIII (Robert Griffin III of the Washington Redskins) is the same way. “Russell just puts so much time in. If you put that much time in, studying and watching, there’s no question your decision making is going to improve. Most guys don’t put as much time as he does in. But I hear the same thing about Colin Kaepernick (of the San Francisco 49ers), the way he studies and trains, and the same thing about Andrew Luck.”

5. Specific: A specific goal has a much greater chance of being accomplished than a general goal. To set a specific goal you must answer the six “W” questions: *Who: Who is involved? *What: What do I want to accomplish? *Where: Identify a location. *When: Establish a time frame. *Which (HOW): Identify requirements and constraints. *Why: Specific reasons, purpose or benefits of accomplishing the goal. EXAMPLE: A general goal would be, “Get in shape.” But a specific goal would say, “I want to gain muscle mass and lose fat by joining a health club and workout 3 days (M, W, F) a week.”

6. Measurable - Establish concrete criteria for measuring progress toward the attainment of each goal you set. When you measure your progress, you stay on track, reach your target dates, and experience the exhilaration of achievement that spurs you on to continued effort required to reach your goal. To determine if your goal is measurable, ask questions such as…… How much? How many? How will I know when it is accomplished?

7. Attainable – When you identify goals that are most important to you, you begin to figure out ways you can make them come true. You develop the attitudes, abilities, skills, and financial capacity to reach them. You can attain most any goal you set when you plan your steps wisely and establish a time frame that allows you to carry out those steps. Goals that may have seemed far away and out of reach eventually move closer and become attainable, not because your goals shrink, but because you grow and expand to match them. When you list your goals you build your self-image. You see yourself as worthy of these goals, and develop the traits and personality that allow you to possess them.

8. Realistic- To be realistic, a goal must represent an objective toward which you are both willing and able to work. A goal can be both high and realistic; you are the only one who can decide just how high your goal should be. But be sure that every goal represents substantial progress. A high goal is frequently easier to reach than a low one because a low goal exerts low motivational force. Some of the hardest jobs you ever accomplished actually seem easy simply because they were a labor of love.

9. Timely – A goal should be grounded within a time frame. With no time frame tied to it there’s no sense of urgency. If you want to lose 10 lbs, when do you want to lose it by? “Someday” won’t work. But if you anchor it within a timeframe, “by May 1st”, then you’ve set your unconscious mind into motion to begin working on the goal. Your goal is probably realistic if you truly believe that it can be accomplished. T can also stand for Tangible – A goal is tangible when you can experience it with one of the senses, that is, taste, touch, smell, sight or hearing

10. What is the difference between short-term and long-term goals? What are some of your current goals? Is it better to set lower goals than to risk failing by setting higher goals? Have you ever set a goal that was unrealistic? What happened? What did you learn from it? If you don’t’ accomplish all your goals does that make you a failure? What’s the difference between failing and being a failure?
