Ranger Parents,
We hope that all of you are doing great. Please continue to keep the Rocha Family in your thoughts and prayers. We will be starting school on Thursday and we are excited to partner with you and help your Ranger get off to a great start. You will be getting several emails from teachers this week. Please don’t be overwhelmed, we are here to help. One of the first things we will talk about on Thursday is getting this virtual world organized properly and how to get the most out of this experience. We will meet with all our players via zoom on Tuesday to help them get ready for Thursday. Your athlete has received communication about the zoom meeting this Tuesday. Please help our facility make sure their computer systems are ready to function this week.
Please remember that even though school is starting we will not be able to work with our players in person until we get approval from Leander ISD. When we get approval even if a student/athlete is choosing virtual they will be able to workout with their team. Great news! Until then, we will be using our athletic periods to install our schemes, teach character, academics, and take care of all paperwork. Also, all online paperwork should be completed at this point. Today we communicated to all players through Google Classroom and Remind this same information to help them get ready. Our season is getting close. It is important that they work out every day. We post workouts in google classroom daily. We will continue to communicate as information comes out. We will also be having our preseason parent meeting as soon as we receive some important information that we have been waiting on. Hopefully this letter helps. Please don’t hesitate to email us with any questions that you might have.
Have a great week. Go Rangers!
Coach Vincent

How To Manage Distractions
By: Jeri Goldstein January 21, 2019
First, review your recent goals:
This will give you a great start for this new year by taking the high priority projects you didn’t get to and see whether they are still a priority. If they are, those items top your list of goals for the coming year.
Second, consider your priorities:
What goals do you really want to work towards next. Among those for consideration you might add any of those new incoming offers that could possibly be a distraction.
Third, review the new goals list:
Look at all those new goals and lets get real here. If you have a list of ten major goals for the year, either you are super human or you are being unrealistic. There is nothing that adds to overwhelm faster than a long list of goals. Look at your list and lets pair it down to three main goals. By keeping your list small, you set yourself up for success to accomplish each one. By focusing on these three, you are more easily able to stay on track and avoid all those new bright shiny distractions that keep you from achieving your goals.
Now one last really important thing to consider:
Do these goals inspire you to jump in and work on them? Do they motivate you to get up each morning and get started right away? If they do not, you might want to rethink your goals. If you are not committed to them, inspired by them and eager to work towards them, then you will be more likely attracted to other interesting, exciting bright shiny distractions that come your way.
If you would rather do anything other than what you set out to do, then you just might have the wrong goals. Please examine your goals very carefully and be certain that they are a perfect fit for you at this time in your career and life.
I’m all for challenging yourself so you may grow, but if you choose something you are not ready for, you will find yourself distracted towards things you can more easily handle. In other words, don’t run the marathon before you can walk five miles. Make sure your goals are achievable for you at this time In your career.
Take some time this month to set yourself up for success this year. How to manage distractions is accomplished by committing yourself to your priorities and your goals.
How are you managing all the distractions that come your way? Are you someone who easily gets distracted from your priorities?
