[Pro Cheer Audition Advice] Keeping Your Eyes on the Prize When a Goal Seems Far Off
What keeps you busy right now? Are you thinking of auditioning for a professional cheerleading team? Or are you already getting started with your preparation?
Whatever your answer, one of the challenges you need to prepare for is the possibility that you’ll lose sight of your goals.
The future can seem so far away. And because of that, it’s easy to procrastinate and allow yourself to be distracted by anything. If you want to make the team, it’s important to take the necessary steps each day to get closer to your goal.
Here are three simple strategies you can use to keep your eyes focused on the prize - regardless of the audition date.
Make a commitment to do something each day - no matter how small.
This strategy entails thinking small. It can be frustrating when we’re unable to get something done perfectly. For example, perfecting your dance moves or losing a certain amount of weight within a time period. We set goals that are too big but don’t give ourselves enough time to meet them. Do you see the point? By setting small goals and taking action each day, we’re much more likely to accomplish them. You also get to avoid big hurdles that are unnecessary - just because you haven’t moved towards your goal on a daily basis.
Set your priorities straight.
Once and for all, get your priorities straight. If you’re really determined to become a professional cheerleader, you need to know what’s valuable to you. That way, you can make time for it. How can you make the team when you would rather binge watch Netflix or spend hours on social media (than watch videos of your dream team to study their dance technique)?
Constantly remind yourself of the prize.
Reminders, reminders, reminders. They’re extremely important! You have to remind yourself each day and each moment of the things that matter to you. Here, we need to use visualization techniques such as creating a vision board, posting positive messages on your wall, and meditation.
Final Thoughts
Oftentimes, we want something but we’re not working hard enough to get it - especially if a goal seems out of reach right now. The strategies I just shared will ensure that you don’t waste any time. Walk towards your goal as early as possible. Now is the best time to start. You won’t regret it! And if you need help, you can always turn to Pro Cheer Life.
