High school is a huge step in many people’s lives; some people find their lifelong friends, some find their person, some find their path, and some learn to develop habits and goal oriented mindsets. The thing many people overlook, though, is the consistency of habits people use to obtain success in their goals.
What are your short-term and long-term goals?
“Happiness” and “greatness”. “I plan to not get complacent with my accomplishments and keep achieving more until I reach my end goal, and once I achieve my end goal I’ll strive for more because I think you can never settle for what you have”.
— Jacob Molinaro
“Win state and make sure that my teammates get better” and “to get a division one offer and to continue to play in college”.

“I always put school first before I do any sports, make sure all my schoolwork is done and then I’ll do anything else besides that [and] I keep working out every day, making sure I stay ready so I don’t have to get ready”.
