The New England Patriots are playing in the Super Bowl. Again. They’re playing the Los Angeles Rams this time. There will be thousands of pages written about the game. Countless commentaries in all forms of media as well. Even though I’m a Buffalo Bills fan, I have to give credit to the Patriots. They’re the greatest of all time to date: GOAT. I qualify it only because there’s always the possibility another team will supersede their accomplishments. But it’s not likely.

I believe the reason they have been so successful is their consistency. Players have come and gone. Training techniques change as do offensive and defensive schemes. But they’ve been consistent in using the season to solidify their approach in preparation for the play-offs. In other words, they have trained to peak at exactly the right time year after year. They train to win the close games. They establish the mental and physical wherewithal to overcome any circumstance. The lesson is that every year the challenges will be different but the approach is consistent.

I make no predictions for the game but I can predict this: you can be your personal GOAT in health and other areas of your life, throughout this year or years to come. You just have to be consistent in your approach.

What are you prepared to do today?
