You can write and visualize goals all you want, but if you do not take action, your goals will never become a reality. To obtain a goal you have never before achieved will require tasks you have never before done.

“Our goal is to shut teams out and not give up soft goals. But we also want to win games. Last year we were No. 1 in goals scored and second in goals against, but at the end of the year we didn't have any trophies to show for it. So I think this year we'll take trophies -- we won't really worry about stats.”

“In my early days, a goal against us was shrugged off. Nobody liked conceding a goal, but once the ball had gone into the net it was accepted as 'one of those things' and everybody in the team would concentrate on trying to get the goal back. But once the maximum wage had been lifted and win bonuses became all-important, it was suddenly considered a crime to concede a goal.”

“I've been asked about that goal every day for the last 40 years. We didn't have the technology back then to show whether it was a goal or not, which led to the controversy. I'd like to think one day we'll have the technology to show whether or not it was a goal.”

“Northwestern has been scoring a lot of goals, so I think they will be a handful for our defense, but they also have been giving up of a lot of goals. If our backline comes ready to play and our frontline starts scoring some goals this weekend it will be great.”

Dont ever be impressed with goal setting; be impressed with goal getting. Reaching new goals and moving to a higher level of performance always requires change, and change feels awkward. But take comfort in the knowledge that if a change doesn't feel uncomfortable, then it's propably not really a change.

“You always start to butt heads after awhile. The city's goal is always to provide a public service, and the goal of a private company is always to make money.”

“Our goal for the tournament is to win two games so we can make a trip to state. It has been our goal since the season began.”

“It's unbelievable. You know you set goals, little goals, for weeks of the season and they did it. I'm so proud of them. I really am.”

“I am very pleased for the kids. This is one of the goals we set at the beginning of the season. Now we have other goals we want to accomplish.”
