Novak Djokovic: “Dream big. Dare to dream. Because everything is possible. Nurture it. Water it like you water the flowers. Even if you find only one person in this world that will accept, embrace, and support your dreams, find that person and dream big. Because you can make it.”

- 11/16/2025 – great roadmap to be trained to be great – 64-cell roadmap based on a framework called the Harada Method
When Shohei Ohtani was a high school freshman, he created a detailed “dream sheet” with one central goal: to be the #1 draft pick for 8 NPB (Nippon Professional Baseball) teams. It was a 64-cell roadmap based on a framework called the Harada Method. Here’s exactly what Shohei did 1. First, some history…. The Harada Method was created by Takashi Harada, a Japanese junior high track coach. He took a team ranked last out of 380 schools and, using his system, turned them into the #1 team in the region within 3 years. They held that top spot for the next 6 years. 2. You start by placing your main goal in the center of an 8×8 grid. For Ohtani, this was “be the #1 draft pick.” 3. Next, you identify 8 critical supporting pillars needed to achieve that goal. These surround the main goal. Ohtani’s 8 pillars were: • Body • Control • Sharpness • Speed • Pitch Variance • Personality • Karma/Luck • Mental Toughness 4. You then break down each of those 8 pillars into 8 smaller, actionable tasks or daily routines. This fills out the entire 64-cell grid, turning a massive dream into a concrete, daily action plan. To improve his karma, he listed tangible actions like: • Showing Respect to Umpires • Picking up trash • Being positive • Being someone people want to support 5. The method goes far deeper than just technical skills. It forces you to analyze your weaknesses and build confidence. It also has a highlight on service to others, emphasizing that humility and contributing to your community are essential for personal success. 6. The key to the system is daily execution and accountability. Once the 64-cell chart is complete, you turn the tasks and habits into a daily diary and a “Routine Check Sheet.” It’s designed to transform abstract intentions into a measurable, daily practice.
