Before we can lead our teams and help our players reach the goals that are important to them we need to have our own lives in order. One of the ways to start accomplishing this is by honestly answering the following 11 questions that come from Paul J. Meyer’s Become The Coach You Were Meant To Be:

1. Have I crystallized my thinking so that I know where I stand now and where I want to go?
2. Are my vision, mission, and purpose statements clear to me and to my team members?
3. Do I have a detailed written plan to achieve each important personal and organizational goal, and have I set a deadline for their attainment?
4. Are my personal goals balanced with the need to help my organization achieve?
5. Do my personal goals represent a balance among the six areas of life?
6. Do I have a burning desire to achieve the goals that I have set for myself?
7. Have I developed within my team members and myself a passion for achieving the success we’ve envisioned?
8. Do I have supreme confidence in my ability to reach these goals?
9. Do I trust my team members to strive toward success and to continue to develop more of their innate potential for achievement?
10. Have I accepted personal responsibility for the success of my team – and for the achievement of my own personal goals?
11. Do I possess the iron willed determination to follow through regardless of circumstances or what others say, think, or do?
