C Plan

I was impressed to hear that Alabama coach, Avery Johnson, has developed a “C-Plan” for his basketball team: 

“Compete on the Court

Compete in the Classroom”

This was a terrific concept, emblematic of a highly enlightened coach! 

However, I thought we might flesh it out a little for a really COMPREHENSIVE C-Plan. 

So I’m going to suggest we including the following:   

CAPITALIZE on every advancement opportunity

Own the CAREER you would like to pursue

Become CERTIFIED :: Get the GED, the BA/BS, the MA, the Ph.D., Electrician, etc.

CENSOR your behavior :: Become acutely self-aware

Accept CHALLENGE

CHANGE for the better

Develop CHARACTER

CHECK & DOUBLE CHECK (Start EARLY so you have time to EDIT)

CHOOSE wisely

 Put CIVILITY in CIVILIZATION

Seek CLARITY

CLIMB the heights

“The heights by great men reached and kept

Were not attained by sudden flight,

But they, while their companions slept,

Were toiling upward in the night.”

                        Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
