This is my motivation and inspirational page. My Fabulous 50. The following are messages to
help you get motivated and inspired to perform at your best. Some are equations while a few are acronyms to get the point across. Some are what I wrote while the rest are summarized take-offs
on what athletes and others have said. If you’re serious about competing and don’t have some reminders, where you’ll see them every day, why not? These reminders tell your brain what you
want to accomplish. I have “focus” on my mirror to remind me to give 100% on every shot. After a
few weeks of just average scores, I needed better concentration and I wrote it down, so I could
focus better on every shot. Seven of the next eight sessions were above average, so the reminder
did its job and made competing more fun. Check out my photos and you’ll see motivation in just changing the callender. Only have one or two where you’ll see them and change them every
month to keep them fresh. I have them in categories, to help you with areas of your game that
may need a little more help. Who said we all couldn’t need a little help?
