The team did very well. (Amanda) swam very well and achieved her goals.

She has worked hard and dropped a lot of time just like the rest of the team has.

She's my most valuable. She scores the most points at each meet. She can swim any stroke. She's done very well.

It is not enough to reach for the brass ring. You must also enjoy the merry go round.

These players had goals they wanted to attain and they kept their eye on it. We kept pressing forward, even when times were bleak.

The key is to make SMART resolutions. Over the years, we have learned how to set goals that are reasonable and that will lead to success. We encourage sales executives to apply a simple test to their business resolutions. Ask if it's SMART: specific, measurable, activity-based, realistic and time-bound? If they meet these criteria their success will escalate.
