  1. Good afternoon charlie Foster, so um yes, this is recorded,
  2. but um we're still gonna have fun.
  3. Okay,
  4. so we are going to look at um just a few
  5. different things that I think we need to kind of re examine
  6. and do different than we did the last time.
  7. Okay, so let's look at a couple of things we're gonna do.
  8. So first of all I know that you know this movie, it's the sand lot.
  9. If you don't know this movie, then you've got to go and and watch it.
  10. Um so that um you will understand
  11. that um anything is possible. That is the message in the sandlot movie.
  12. So
  13. once we do that, let me see if I can get one in the world.
  14. Okay,
  15. there we go,
  16. sorry.
  17. So once we do that, once we go and watch the sandlot,
  18. then we know that everything is possible, we can do this
  19. and we are going to just treat this as just another day on the calendar, it's s a T.
  20. Is not that big a deal.
  21. So the first thing that we need to really understand is that we have to be prepared,
  22. you're making sure that you're coming to our classes um with everything done,
  23. all your assignments done because the more you do, the more we,
  24. you can get accomplished.
  25. So if you come with your test done,
  26. I can go ahead and score that test and put you on a different um task
  27. while I'm scoring the test and we can get a lot accomplished um that way,
  28. time management is the key and I know that you have got so much going on and trust me,
  29. I do get that, I get that because Nicola is a gymnast, so, and she is all the time
  30. um having to go here, there and everywhere, we're traveling all the time,
  31. like you guys, um we, like even this season, we went um we went to Vegas two weeks ago,
  32. um this thursday, we're headed to colorado,
  33. two weeks from now to two weeks from when we get back, we're going to Tampa,
  34. then we're going to Chattanooga's and Nicola is chat um is traveling and not just,
  35. you know, like down the road, she's traveling a long way a lot and so because of that,
  36. she has to make sure that her school and her studies and the things that she has to
  37. get done is put in a time management plan and so that is very important for you guys,
  38. especially as athletes,
  39. to make sure that you have your time management down and you are,
  40. you are doing doing things that are going to
  41. make the most sense um for efficient time management.
  42. Um sometimes a planner helps, I know that it helps for Nicola,
  43. she gets to write down everything that she needs to do within a week and that
  44. way she can look at her planner and she knows exactly what she's gotta do,
  45. she can check off everything at that time.
  46. Um so sometimes that'll help if it seems like something that might help for you
  47. then that is something that I would suggest now one of the
  48. things that we are doing this week is I am giving you a
  49. eight week plan and so you're gonna print that eight week plan
  50. out and you're gonna follow that eight week plan letter by letter.
  51. Because although we have I think seven weeks until your test the eight
  52. week plan will get us right to where we need to be.
  53. So follow that plan
  54. letter by letter. Um And I'm gonna explain more of that later in this video.
  55. Okay so um just make sure that you print that a week plan out
  56. and you understand all the things that you have to do each week.
  57. Okay
  58. so the next thing we'll look at is positive thinking
  59. um I know you kids tend to um just hate everything in life right? Because nicolette.
  60. This is another thing that I have to worry about with. Nicolette.
  61. Everything is wrong, everything hurts.
  62. Um She's dying and surely the entire world should know that.
  63. Well I'm here to telling you that that everything is not wrong. You are not dying. S.
  64. A. T. Is not that big a deal. It is just another test on just another day.
  65. And there are many more.
  66. And one thing that we'll talk about in another part of this video is how the S. A. T.
  67. Has scored. So instead of thinking I know my weakness I hate reading um
  68. you know I think I'm gonna crush this, It's gonna be awesome. It's not a big deal.
  69. You know, instead of thinking it's boring, that's why I don't like it.
  70. Let's you know, let's think about what story you're gonna um learn about today.
  71. What's gonna what are you going to add to your collection and your
  72. brain of all the ridiculous stories that you'll ever have to know?
  73. Um You know just thinking that positive thought is going to make things a
  74. lot easier for you and I found this out not too long ago.
  75. Um Nicholas chiropractor actually he's um on the staff of the Atlanta falcons.
  76. Um He is an amazing doctor, I love him and he is so positive.
  77. And one of the things that he said was um and he showed
  78. me a study that was done and I'm pretty sure it was Switzerland
  79. um where he said that they actually talked positively to a glass of water or
  80. to several glasses of water or whatever the case may be over amount of time.
  81. And over that time the molecules changed
  82. positively when spoken to positively and over the
  83. same time they had a group b where the molecules that were they talked negatively to
  84. um that that glass of are those glasses of
  85. water and those molecules changed in a negative manner.
  86. And so the results of this test and the thing
  87. that they were trying to find is how talking positively uh
  88. to yourself because you are made up of 60-70% water will
  89. affect what your body does and what your body feels.
  90. And they literally came out with this study saying that your body
  91. feels and reacts to your positive thinking and your positive self talk.
  92. Uh or it reacts to your negative self talk or your negative thinking.
  93. So keeping that in mind
  94. thinking positively about the S. A. T.
  95. Thinking positively about learning about reading about doing the things that
  96. we need to do in order to get through this S.
  97. A. T. Is only going to help you.
  98. So the next thing we're gonna talk about is we
  99. are not going to make this test a big deal.
  100. The S. A. T. Is super scored.
  101. So no matter how many times you take it they are going to
  102. take your best score whatever college it is wherever you wanna go.
  103. If you want to go to Harvard if you wanna go to Yale if you want to go to
  104. west west atlantic university that's in Timbuktu Arizona.
  105. I don't care where you wanna go.
  106. The college that you want to go to is going to take your best score.
  107. So you could take this test literally 50 times if you
  108. so choose and you can get whatever score is the best
  109. given to your college.
  110. Now another thing that we're going to think about is possibly taking the A. A. C. T.
  111. Because if for some reason you're just not jiving with the S. A. T.
  112. Then maybe we need to think about heading on over to the A. C. T. Because the A. C. T.
  113. When when kids don't do well with the S. A. T. They typically do better with the A. C. T.
  114. That's another day another thought but just something
  115. to put in the back of your brain.
  116. I want you to relax. You're not running for the presidency.
  117. Although you would probably make a better one than
  118. what we have in the office right now.
  119. Did I say that out loud? Yes I did. I want you to take it slow and easy.
  120. I don't want you to put pressure on yourself. Um There's always another s. A. T.
  121. Test date. It's not that big a deal.
  122. So let's just focus on the task at hand and just chill out.
  123. Um And know the minions are not saying blah blah blah.
  124. To me they are saying blah blah blah to let's not
  125. they're saying blah blah blah like it's not a big deal.
  126. Okay so
  127. you're gonna kill this test.
  128. I want you to take all of this in and I want
  129. you to just really start focusing on the task at hand.
  130. Let's make sure we're being prepared for our class.
  131. Let's make sure that we are um getting all of our assignments done.
  132. I realize I'm giving you a ton of work to do.
  133. I understand the pressure that puts on you. I am very sorry about that.
  134. We do have a very short limited amount of time in order to get this done.
  135. And so we're gonna have to just push through um And and get it done.
  136. So like I said and one of the slides um time management is key.
  137. You're gonna have to plan this out to where we
  138. can get these things done in a timely matter.
  139. Um So what I'm gonna do is send you over,
  140. I've already sent you the emails I'm gonna send you over this video.
  141. I want you to make sure that everything that we
  142. that I have assigned you for this week you get
  143. done because the following week we're gonna get done you
  144. know whatever else is on our eight week list.
  145. Okay So have a good week.
  146. Um Send me over these are let me know um Just to
  147. email me and let me know that you're done with the assignments.
  148. Um And I will take a look at them also.
  149. I did want to tell you on the practice test if
  150. you go online to your account to the Princeton review.
  151. Remember I showed you that they have practice tests on there.
  152. Go ahead and do your practice test online?
  153. It'll be easier for us to look at together when I come back.
  154. Um So that you can see what you need to work on. Um
  155. And it'll be right there online instead of doing it in the book. Um Just do it online.
  156. Okay well have a good time with this and don't stress out.
